Common Kingfisher Looking Up

Common Kingfisher Looking Up

One of my favorite birds is the Common Kingfisher. Arguably the most beautiful Kingfisher we have coming through Israel, it's a tiny fish catcher with amazing colors and grace. Here we have one observing the sky curiously as it's standing on a branch, showing it's incredibly beautiful back.

What do I like about this photo? The dynamic pose by the Kingfisher, with the beautiful back side showing in all its glory. Wonderful colors. A sparkle of light in the eye. Huge amount of details. I used an open aperture to create a shallow depth of field, so the Kingfisher is sharp but the background is blurred out.

What would I want to improve? There's a bit too much vegetation around, stealing some focus.
