    Taken few months back. This Wagtail is also called as Black-headed Yellow Wagtail and is migratory, breeds in W.Himalayas and widespread winter all over India.
    It was on cow dung heap, not a very good perch but background was good, so I took couple snaps.
    On either side dung at bottom and some black spots in between legs are removed. Cropped and sharpened.NR applied to BG.I hope you will like it.

    Canon: 550D, 100-400.
    F: 6.3, 1/800, ISO: 200.
    Spot metering, White balance: Auto. Exposure bias: +0.3 stop. Subject distance: 6m. HH.

    Thanks for viewing and appreciation. C & C are much appreciated.
    Best Regards.

    Nice pose perfect head turn and eye contact. Fill flash would have been a good thing to be used in this kind of lighting.

    Great pose, sharpness, details and colors, Satish. I agree on the fill flash which would have eliminated the dark shadows under chin and body.

    I like the pose, details and eye contact. I would darken the bright spot on the left. Nice image Satish.

    Hi Satish, lovely pose and HA from the Wagtail, and I like the detail and colours on him too. I would try and blend in the lighter highlights in the BG, and neaten up the edge of the perch.
