I staked out a dead branch at a neighborhood lake this morning and this female Kingfisher came by for a few seconds. This was not a set up - and not my first attempt at this shot. Would appreciate any comments for improvement. Not good that the sky broke through the BG leaves right at the bird's head. Also, the perch unfortunately was in shade with a bit of backlighting on the BG. Still, I find these very tough birds to photograph so for now I was happy to get this shot even though not ideal. I did some BG cloning in ULC.
