Looking for breakfast

Hi,
Taken in Bamdej march, southwest of IRAN when I was sitting in my car, waiting for some hoovering shot from this lovely Kingfisher.

7D, 400 IS plus 2XIII, 800 ISO, F6.3,1/640s

Thanks for looking.

Hi Mohsen,
First the good! The BG is superb and very nice light. The composition is unusual but I can live with it.
The not so good- the IQ is not terrific around the head/beak area. Is this a big crop?
The blacks should be opened up and the crop is a bit tight on the bottom. Do you have more room?
TFS and I look forward to seeing more of your images,
Gail

Real nice shot. Nice background, lovely light, and I like the lifted feathers on top of its head. Nits already mentioned by Gail.
Well done.

Thanks Gail & Robert

Gail,
This is exactly 52% of original frame. The bird was tight in the frame, & I preferred to stay with 2x TC for some hovering shots.
