Lilac Breasted Roller, Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania.
Leica CL, Vario-Elmar R 105-280
Very interesting behavior, Jaapv. Detail in the Roller looks quite good. It does seem a bit centered in the frame. If you have sufficient detail in the bird you might think about cropping a bit off the bottom and right which would also reduce the out of focus foreground. As a finishing touch, you could add a touch of blur to the upper background which has a somewhat “crunchy” look. A fine image that would be worth keeping for just the behavior.

Thanks 
I’ll probably follow your advice for my archive . I have a more conventional shot of the same bird, which I just uploaded.
Nice one of this Roller taking a sand bath. Dennis’ remarks make sense, so you might give it a try. Fine image. Cheers, Hans
