I like this very much. Because of the background color, reflection, etc. I see this more as an artistic "wall - hanger" than as pure Nature.

Overall I like the shot but it seems too dark on my monitor. I would lighten it overall and especially try to get more detail on the lower part of the bird. I like the light better on the previous wagtail.

What's not to be sure of? The bird looks sharp, you caught a reflection in the water, and the surrounding environment is pleasing. I might lighten it up a little, but I am viewing on an uncalibrated monitor.

Thanks for your help with this i did wonder if it was a tad dark but i was trying to get the bird to stand out against a dark bg.

Keith. :smile:

I like this setting a lot Keith.
Nice details, POV, and the reflection adds well.
I think the overall brightness is fine.
I might clone out the light area ULC as a suggestion for improvement :wavey:

Very nice image Keith. I also, if it were mine, and I would be very happy if it was, might try making it a bit lighter.
