Taken last week,lighting a bit overcast,this is a young wheatear,stood on this stone in the old quarry,looks like he is the king of the castle,hence the title,cannon500mm IS L F4,7D,tripod,iso1250,f5.6,1/650s,cropped,sharpened,touch of sat,comments good or bad.thanks.
What a perky little fellow...love it ! he looks much like a buff coloured cotton ball, lovely soft plumage and overall color tones to suit. Sweet pose, just a nice size rocky perch and nice crisp eye....great as is, but also work as a vertical i think
Chris:
I also like it, simple composition, soft colors, sharp bird, just enough rock showing.

Love all the elements in this fine image. Great perch, detail and BG all woking together. Sweet.
Great shot!. Chest all puffed out, serveying his future patch. Good HA and eye. Lovely muted BG.
Nice soft light, beautiful composition.
Lovely bird and image. Great feather details and you gave it just the right amount of sharpening. Super BG and perch.
What a wonderful details you have got on this cute little one?
Love the beautiful colors of bird and BG,lovely details. Very nice pose,perch and composition.

Hi Chris, lovely pose, and just love the detail, both the soft plumage, and the finer feathers. Great BG too. I would come in from the left a bit, together with a touch off the top. Of course, with this pose, a vertical could work too. :w3
what a fluffy little thing. Nice design on the perch as well as the bg.
Thanks for looking and your comments.
Simple, sweet and perfect is all i can say about this one.
All elements are just right
Hi Chris, is this at the same location as the Peregrine?
Firstly, you might like to check your settings as to me the image looks a tad saturated and carries an untagged profile, might be an unchecked box?
I like the simplicity of the image, but personally think you can move the subject a tad more to the left, it's a wee bit tight to the right for me. :w3 I would also drop the saturation to help the chest feathers then add a curves mid tone to the subject, just helps bring out some more definition overall in the plumage. Nice capture.

Thanks Chris, no need to disclose. :w3 Been too busy closer to home, but you never know, I might just bump into you one day around the location, probably about a 45min drive for me.
Enjoy the weekend. :wave:
