Meadow Pipit

Been a while since my last post on here, or anywhere else for that matter. So here is a Meadow Pipit from this morning.

1/800th @ f8 iso400 ( 95% of FF )

Please view the large version

There are more shots on the blog for those interested.

Thanks for looking.

Very effective Andy, nice pose, great perch, BKD works! Just wonder if pushing it a little more to the right, with a hint more space to the left would give better placement?

Good to see you back Andy :wink:
I love the reverse over shoulder look on any bird picture. Nice background too. Perhaps down a tad in the frame would help ?
Cheers

Cheers guys :toast:

No more room on the left, Steve ( cocked up comp on my part, was rushing to get the shot as it started to SNOW!!! :redface: )
I was considering adding canvas, maybe I'll rework at a later date.

Will look at losing some off the bottom when I rework, John.

You could lop a bit off the right without squaring up the crop Andy. Otherwsie cracker.

Snow? :eek:

Cheers Neil, I went up North to check on the Snipe site and was greeted to a winter wonderland, all the hills and valleys were covered in snow, you would have thought it was mid winter and not nearly May!!!

For me it needs a little more room at the top and could be either a landscape or portrait. Stunning light and background and the pose really makes the image. Minor nit aside this is a stonking image.
