Meadow Pipit

One from yesterday, spent the morning looking for Wheatear, but came back empty handed; but this Meadow Pipit more than made up for missing out on the Wheaties.

1/250th @ f8 -1/3rd iso400 ( 95% of FF )

Thanks for the feedback on my last post and thanks for looking.

Good one Andy. I like the way the surroundings are all predominantly brown tones. They complement the bird, whilst still allowing it to stand out clearly.

very nice Andy. I like the heather and the complementary colours. I think I might be tempted to take a tiny bit off the right.

Lovely tones, and excellent sharpness. I think I would be inclined to trim a little off the right, but no big deal.

A lovely detailed image Andy. I would echo Justins comments re the complimentary background.
