Pretty amazing shots. I feel I should like #3 most because of the behaviour caught but Im drawn to #1, maybe because of the black background, or the intense look in the eye of Kingy.
Good stuff anyway!

Am wondering what #1 would look like in a square crop actually.

[EDIT: Tried it, please say if you want it removed]

I actually like the square crop, removes a lot of space and tightens up the shot.

what a beauty

Great shots 1 and 3 very nice

Thank you for the comments, I was unsure about shot 2 because of the head position, the head seems disproportionately small compared to the body

Nice set of images.

All lovely but #3 does it for me - wonderful.

Anyone looking at this forum would think kingfishers are a common as muck. Lovely shot of one of our most beautiful birds.
