    This is very nice Chris,crisp and sharp and beautifully exposed,think the river bed washed stones finish it off nicely.

    Difficult birds to do with the black and whites but you nailed this one. Rock just right too.
    Nice oner.

    Hi Chris,
    I really like the pose and the composition. I never seem to be able to get them to stay still in a nice spot for long.
    I think the high ISO requires some more attention in post production - particularly the breast and the fine feathers in front of the wing. Not sure if you have applied NR or not.
    But it is a sweet image.

    Best wishes, Gerald

    Very nice Chris. Lovely details. Great pose and HA. I like the POV and the stones. Great colours throughout.

    Much better than the thumbnail shows. The pose and the nice details looks great and I like the rocks and the Bg too. Well done

    Sweet shot! I like the pose and the environment, the colours and details are excellent, I like the background too.

    Really nice Chris, a good clean view of the bird in an interesting setting with those pebbles, and a suitable BG as well.

    One of the nicest wagtail shots I have seen for a while. Details and exposure perfect but to me the low POV and stone perch make this one extra special
