bardzo lubię zdjęcia ptaków, to jest dobra fotografia, piękny zimorodek ;), szkoda tylko że jest dokładnie w centrum kadru i jego dziób zlewa się z gałązką, ale mimo to zdjęcie świetne.pozdrawiam

Hello Yvonne,

Welcome to TL.
I hope you enjoy posting on this site.
Your first posting is well composed and the bird is sharply focussed.

Your image is only 250 x 333 pixels and can be 800 pixels. A larger photo allows the viewers to see much more detail.
Also, it is usual to add a few notes to your shot to explain where it was taken or why it was taken or some details of the subject.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Yvonne,
Welcome to TL! This is a great shot to start out with, the Kingfisher seems well focused against the background due to the shallow DOF.

If only the photo was a bit larger so we could fully appreciate the details - As Bev mentioned, you are allowed to post up to 800 pixels on this site. Anyway, hope you have a good time here :).

Regards,
Scott.

Hi Yvonne,
Welcome to TL - the F4.5 setting has blurred the background very nicely - the bird is perhaps too central in the shot but a very good first post - always add a few words even if its just the location of the shot
cheers
Jack
