This kingfisher looks straight out of a painting. In this edit, I transformed my original photo into a style reminiscent of Van Gogh, with thick brushstrokes, swirling textures and intense colours. The bird's blue splashes off the canvas, its orange breast glowing warmly against a vivid background full of movement and expression. It is not an exact representation of reality, but a translation of how this bird feels, fast, sharp, alive. By choosing this style, I want to capture not only the form, but also the energy of the kingfisher. For me, this image is a bridge between photography and painting, and between nature and interpretation. A colourful tribute to one of my favourite birds.
