First post - Meadow Pipit

[Krijn Trimbos]

I'm new to this forum, so I hope that this is appropriate. Taken in friesland at one of the Milkfarms. This Meadow Pipit had a little pitstop at this pole after which it took of quite quickly. Taken in early morning light.

Hope you like it,

Welcome, Krijn.....this is a perfect image for the forum. This one is so nice......lovely BG colors, simple.....and the sharpness and detail on the Meadow Pipit is wonderful. If it's like our Pipits over here.....you did well getting him to stop for a fraction of a second. Well done with this one.

Very nice job Krijn! Great soft light to work with. Nice sharpness. Pretty BG. Thanks for sharing.

A great posted bird for your first post! ;-)

I love Pipets and this one is a beauty, lovely bokeh/subject separation.
