Congratulations Wendy!
I took this image in a marshy area in northern Israel. I'd like your input on both the crop and the background. I cropped it to include the foliage fanning out on the right side of the image, because I thought it provides, to some extent, a sense of how small this species is. But I'm wondering if it detracts attention from the kingfisher? Also, I wondered if I should blur the background...is it too distracting?
