gone fishing

Word today was fish/fishing. I got as close as sewing together a trio of captures of a sacred kingfisher. My pond is still pretty dry but if there are any fish to be had I bet these sharp little birds know about it! I liked each of these photos so gave myself permission to have a little play.
Thank you for such awesome comments and questions on my photos

Beautiful birds and you have such good symmetry. If you didn’t say you had sewn together 3 images, I would not have known that was composite. The masking is terrific!

[Elyse Klemchuk]

This is wonderful! I like their color and the blue sky! I was thinking along the same line as Beryl- the two on the right seem to be chatting :)

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@kchuk they do don't they - it's all the same bird though, I sewed 3 photos together :)

@koalagardens I just re read... cleverly put together

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@sugarmuser thanks - I love how many things I get to learn here :)

[Sharon Lee]

@koalagardens I like that I actually get motivated to play with images here.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@sugarmuser definitely! I would never even think of 10% of the stuff I do as a result of being inspired here. You do some awesome play I must say too :)
