You have captured a typical upright Wheatear pose ,sandy beach gives a nice clean habitat,nice natural and nice feather detail,nice job Will.

Beautiful bird, interesting setting. I looks like a sandy beach. Wondering if you added the catch light? Thank you for sharing, Will.

[William Dickson]

Thanks for the comments well done Joe, There was a very faint catchlight which I made brighter.

Interesting bird for sure!! I think I would take a little bit off of the bottom up to underneath the pebble. I actually like the debris on the beach here, and the color palette is quite nice. The catch light isn't looking quite right to my eyes esp since that side of the bird's head appears to be in shadow.

Yes different environment to were I see mine,on the moors and in the old quarries,but I like the sand and BG,like the pose,agree about the catch light,I think you brightened it a bit too much.TFS.
