    Default Wagtail

    A very nimble bird.

    Frank,
    Excellent image of White Wagtail.Very well exposed.Love the pose and details.I like the grass too. BG above the tail looks too dark on my monitor.

    Regards,
    Satish.

    Love your low angle, Frank, and the wonderful sharpness and details on the bird. Nice direct stare at you. The dark area in the BG is a bit distracting.

    Very nice Frank! I agree about the dark bg being a bit distracting, maybe tone it down a bit?

    Hi Frank, good DOF, and I like the detail and sharpness on the Wagtail. Im fine with the low perspective not seeing the feet, and wish the upper BG was more uniform.

    Lovely foreground and subject. Nice details and sharpness. I agree with others about the background.

    Hi Frank,

    Nice detail in the wagtail - I often have trouble getting the whites on the head right on these - you seem to have got it right. Lovely little bird, they don't stop still for long! Background could ideally be more uniform, but it doesn't bother me that much.

    Great looking image. I'm a low angle junky and this fits the bill nicely.
    The background looks lovely to me. I've looked at the image a few times
    now, and the only thing that I keep wishing for is a slight head turn that would
    show one eye really well versus two eyes, neither one of which show particularly
    well.
