BOKEH! I love it! The kingfisher is simultaneously elegant and slightly goofy-looking. Very nice!

Wow - that's magnificent! The way the light falls on the wing feathers is beautiful.

Pretty good sharpness here. The bokeh is good too for that lens. I have one for my minolta film camera. It's pretty good too if there is a LOT of light.

Now that I know which one is yours Harvey... (not voting)
Nice comp and clarity with good DOF control. DOF helps to isolate the subject nicely but it looks like there might be a bit of noise creeping in?
Would love to have seen some more detail in the dark underside but being in shadow and knowing the light from above makes it almost impossible I think you did ok.
