Kingfisher Collage

I've been trying for what seems like forever to get a shot of a kingfisher in flight. Jim and I were kayaking at Mercer Lake and I shot these from the moving boat. The in flight shot isn't as sharp as I would like but it is exciting finally to have gotten one!
Thanks so much for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs. I am always delighted to get constructive criticism

Great shots, love the out stretched feathers in flight and backlighting :)

I love the detail and colours on the feathers when they are spread in flight. Well done on capturing it!

[Allison Maltese]

Wonderful images, especially the spread out feathers.

The bird in flight is terrific. You have really managed to get a perfectly intense blue background as well as perfect exposure of the bird. Well done!

[Stephanie Swift]

I think these are both gorgeous shots, lovely focus and detail, fav for me.
