    Here is a little White Wagtail photographed in the beautiful Camomile Meadows here in the Alentejo.

    Richard:

    Nice pose, and flowers.

    The whites on the bird do show signs of being over exposed and then recovered, with loss of detail and a grey look to them.

    Nice catchlight.

    Cheers

    Nice pose and environment. I amy lose some of the growth in the upper left corner. The whites on the birds neck look a little hot to me.

    May be my monitor, but the eye/upper head looks just a bit soft to me. Nice pose and composition, and interesting background - I'd take a little more bokeh, perhaps by shooting lower to the ground as with this pose DOF may be an issue with a faster f-stop. Perhaps try shooting from an Italian sports car next time? :)
