    Thanks all, great stuff Morrisseeee and HMs. Not much to say technically about this kingfisher shot... shooting from a large bird hide pretty close to the perch that the kingfisher was using at about 10am so some nice warm light and a ringside seat. Fast shutter speed but underexposed a bit to try and keep the white patch detail. Didn't manage to see it catching fish but lovely to see them up so close. I was over in Pembrokeshire for a few days and this was at the Welsh Wildlife Centre near Cardigan (https://www.welshwildlife.org/visitor-centres/the-welsh-wildlife-centre/). A few different hides there and a chance of seeing otter and deer as well as the birds. I spent sunrise to sunset there on this day... coffee and paninis available on site! Well worth a visit if you're ever in the area.

    Sorry, just seeing this now, didn't realize I was joint first. Great photos everyone. As for my processing, there wasn't much tbh, the sun setting gave me a great composition, ie. especially the light on the windows, so many windows ! I was going to crop it more but in the end stuck with the whole ship/cruiser.

    Details: F6.3, 95mm, 1/640sec, ISO:400.
