ciao Ike,
sei stato bravo a riprenderlo senza che volasse via.
Bella scena in cui lo sfondo chiaro fa risaltare la sua sagoma.
un saluto

Pozdrav, kod nas je velika vrucina.
Odlican trenutak, lepa ptica prelepih boja zatecena na metalnoj ogradi.
Sve je vise ptica u gradu, prostor im polako uzima covek svojom arhitekturom.
Dobar rad, lepa fotografija.
Prijatno popodne, Paja.

Hello, here is a great heat.
Great moment, beautiful bird with beautiful colors found at the metal fence.
More and more birds in the city, space man they slowly takes its architecture.
Good work, beautiful photos.
A pleasant afternoon, Paja.

Hi Ike,
Found this in your random photos, and as you know, couldn't resist it !
Great capture and sharpness of this wonderful bird which you were so lucky to admire.
Good POV with the railings in the foreground and the blurred grass in the background.
Congratulations.

Hello Ike,
Superb use of selective focus with the brightly colored kingfisher in perfect focus and both the fg and bg blurred and oof. The curving rail helps with the composition too. Tfs!

Now that is a beautiful bird indeed. With its unusal big beak it looks almost more like a bee eater than a kingfisher.
