Yellow Wagtail

[Gyorgy Szimuly]

I would like to share this image with you which I like despite it is a bit centered.
It was taken very nearby the Danube Delta in Romania which is a fantastic birding and photographing place.

Comments are welcomed.

Cheers: Szimi

Absolutely beautiful, I agree the bird is perhaps a little too central but never the less the colours, exposure and detail are absolutely first class.

Very nice image, like the details and colors of your bird, also the background is beautifull. Would like to see the subject more off center by cropping to the right a little and perhaps adding a little bit of canvas to the left of the frame...:) Outside of that, Beautifull image...

Congrats...:D

P.S. :o Forgot to tell you, you might waqnt to clone out the blade of grass touching the bird's brest...:cool:

Really beautiful pose and BG. Maybe a touch off the right.

[Alfred Forns]

Beautiful Szimi !!!! Excellent feel and such a nice bg and pose !!! Agree with moving the bird back a bit in the frame Also good point by Gus for the merging leaf Not sure if you have one other without it !!! Big Congrats !!!!!!

[Dave Phillips]

this is one beautifully detailed bird.
That one leaf is a bit distracting, but the bird and bg are awesome Szimi

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Beautiful image all around. Great pose, setting, details, light and BG. Maybe just a bit too centered.

[Daniel Cadieux]

The centered aspect has already been mentioned, so I won't ;-)

Funny, but the leaf touching the bird does not bother me as much as the one touching the frame below! Beautiful bird.

[Grace Scalzo]

Agree on the crop. Love the sleek bird and the smooth bg.

[Maxis Gamez]

Lovely portrait but too centered for my taste. You did well with the exposure and details.

[Glenn Bartley]

Very nice. As you mention - just a bit centered.

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

What a great bg and pose!!!

[Simon Bennett]

A first rate image Gyorgy.

[Juan Aragonés]

Fantastic Szimi! my only suggestion is to crop a little bit of room at the right. Great BG and superb details.
