Hi,

Another Grey Wagtail from a recent session.

LARGER VERSION





All comments always welcome and appreciated.

Very nice shot Justin, and superbly processed too.

Lovely shot Justin................the yellow/green bg sets him off beautifully

Alan

lovely background and a nice 'perch'. A very nice shot.

Matt

Wondered what you had been up to.
BG stunning and bird pin sharp. Not a nit as such but if it where mine and I didn't mind keeping the set 3:2 ratio I would shave a wee tad of the rock of the bottom.

Nice image Justin - probably agree with Tom on the crop, but you've done really well keeping a still tail at 1/60th and the colours/background are very rich indeed!



Mark

timed just perfectly Justin and the BG is superb.

As has been mentioned there's a bit too much OoF rock in the FG for me and I for one would like to see the feet - but there's nothing you can do about that - they stand where they stand!

Well processed all round nice image

Hello Justin, I don't mind the out of focus foreground at all. I personally believe it gives an image a bit more depth. I like the perch and the background, they both compliment the bird nicely. The only thing which could have made an improvement would have been for the bird to be facing a little more toward the camera, but then that is out of our control.
Nice image.

Nicely seen and taken, the few items have been discussed, but still very pleasing nonetheless.

Kind regards,

Brett.

Really nice! Wonderful background and perch. Lovely colours, I like the pose of the bird too with his wings down a bit, really shows off that yellow.

Thanks for the comments and the cropping suggestion, I hadn't thought of that but think I'll go for that if I decide to print.
