Thanks KC and Max,
Maybe a bit too colourful?! I do edit my photos...especially Highlights and Shadows, and often taking down highlights can oversaturate.
I think I need to desaturate it, somewhat.
These Kingfishers are intensely coloured in real life, but the red of those feet! (Hadn't noticed it before - I edited it along with all my Aussie pics (very rapidly) with a free program I downloaded to the computer I was using there.

OK, that's downed the saturation a bit...I checked other photos of this bird, and yes, all the legs/feet are a very bright red...but mine was still a bit too bright..

Brilliant close-up with excellent focus, dof, lighting, detail, colors, and complimentary background. Exquisite Peter!
