Congratulations, they're a couple of excellent shots, albeit maybe over-saturated?

Really beautiful bird so well captured.

Well done Les, a couple of nice poses there. If you could just run an extra bit of sharpening just on the bird in the second it'd make a big difference and improve it even further.

Photograph #2 is so beautiful ,the BG is a little hard,but,the subject is very well captured with great colours,pose and a lovely eye.

Congratulations Les on losing your virginity.

I had waited a few years to get this photo of a kingfisher. It lives near to my local park and I have often seen it fly through very quickly. To finally get htis photo was great.
