This is a female pied kingfisher sitting in the early morning sun in Egypt. She was very cooperating and I have some pictures with different bg and different "perches". One I already posted in the "Hand of Man" forum.
In this image I am not sure about the grass at the left side. IOne moment I think it is disturbing the picture, in the other moment I don't think so and like the diagonal lines. With some effort, it would be possible to clone the grass away, but I am not sure, if the picture will improve, doing that.
There are other pictures, where the bird is sitting in the other direction, the diagonal lines from the grass in the back and may be not so prominent. There they can easily become cropped off to only few light green lines, but the angle of the bird and the sun I like more in this picture. I would love to show both pictures for comparing the effect...
It would be wonderful, if you give me your advice.
