Grey Wagtail (2)
Here's another shot of the Grey Wagtail taken yesterday. This one has been cropped to portrait from landscape. There are a few specular highlights from the water but this couldn't really be helped, I don't think they distract too much. I knocked the exposure back 1/2 stop in NC4 and just cropped/sharpened in PS. Tech: Nikon D200, Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR, Nikon 1.7 TC @ 340mm, 1/180@F/5.6, ISO 400.

A very nice shot.I don't find the specular highlights overly distracting,and in fact think the image works well with them,as it gives an indication to the 'watery' habitat this species can often be found in. :toast:
