Stunning and brilliant capture. I'd feel very lucky just to see two Kingfishers posed like this--let alone to have captured this remarkable image. #1394904

Thank you all for your nice comments. I origanally saw a photo of two kingfishers on betterphoto by the brilliant nature photographer jeroen stel. I contacted him and went on a one to one workshop with him and this is one of the results. Thank you jeroen. Hope to do more workshops in the future. #9633472
