Stunning. Thanks for sharing  

Although, always think shots like that are slightly tainted by the massive amount of post production they seem to go through, makes them feel much less realistic.

Yes, that plant on the right is suspiciously perfect. Still, eh!

> That kingfisher's a bit tasty.

The same photo won an award in 2016:

Very similar photo, yes. Bit of a swizzle, like that US basketball team?

Wow, some incredible images.

I like the slightly surprised looking eagle, caught with its hair in a bit of a mess. The owl is cool too. In fact, they all are.

I've seen the kingfisher one before, yes, but technically its a different shot than the other competition (a fraction of a second later) so probably gets round any rules on previous entries. Whether it should or not is one matter, but hey, if I'd taken that image I'd be sending it everywhere I could for the rest of my life, its a real, stunning, once in a lifetime shot.
