I was taking pictures from godwits from a hide, when this Pied wagtail (Motacilla alba) dropped by. Unfortunatly it sat a little too far away for ultimate sharpness, but I think still allright, despite the strong crop.
Since the weather was really good that day I decided to make a tour on my bicycle. Therefor I decided to take my 100-400 lens, in stead of the quite heave 500mm. On occasions like these I wished I had taken the 500mm. I got really addicted to this (in all respects)great lens.
Boumantsje wipsturt is the Frysian name for this species.

Hello Jacob,
What I like about this shot of the White Wagtail, apart from the sharpness, comp and BG is that you achieved a catchlight in the eye, which is something I didn't achieve with mine.
Very nice shot.
Well done and TFS!
Best wishes, Ivan

Very nice and sharp photo of this beautiful bird!

Regards, Peter

Ha Jacob,

Schitterend scherpe foto.Als je 500 lens nog beter is, word ik wel erg benieuwd. Met mijn lens ( sigma 170 - 500 mm.)is deze scherpte al een utopie.

groet,
Zeno.

good capture Bufo

I like the way he seems to be looking back at you, Jacob.
Good eye contact and the details are very clear.
Great POV showing all the markings on his feathers.
TFS. : )

Muy buenas Jacob
Una composición muy bonita de esa lavandera y que se ve que esta en su medio natural, buena luz, nitidez y detalle.
Me gusta tal como está.
Un saludo

Hello jacob,
This is a very fine shot of the elegant Wagtail. Like Ivan's your shot is hold in the grey tones, which suits so well to the plumage of the bird.
Best regards
Anne

Hi Jacob

Even if this species is quite a frequent find here on TN, i really like your shot because i find it very sharp and nicely composed.
The bird here is clearly isolated from everything else in the frame due to an exact choice of DOF and an excellent POV.
The exposure is also very well managed (even though it's not that easy in bright sun and having white feathers) and the colors are lovely.
The small wind blowing some of its featehrs is also a nice toutch :))
Well done!

Bravo and TFS

Hi Jacob,
gorgeous portrait of this wagtail. Excellent colors and very sharp detail. POV and light is beautiful. Very well composed the neutral BG is perfect and without any distractions.
TFs..Sky

What a beautiful portrait of the pied wagtail. offset by the complementary colours in the OOF BG. great composition as well.

Very nicely done and TFS
Emma

Great shot with great contrasting background. Sharpness looks prety good to me.
Well done
Chris

I like how the overall colors of this picture are similar yet the subject still stands out so clearly. And i salute you for the good control of light, sharpness and DOP to make this picture a good one.

I also like the composition because it includes a little of the surroundings giving it more interest to the picture.

Hi Jacob,
I did missed this great work.
Nothing wrong with the sharpness IMO. On the contrary no nitpicking here as it is a well done image.

Hallo Jacob,
Vandaag even door je al je foto's gezappt. Veel prachtige opnames. Deze vind ik er uit springen met name door de prachtige achtergrond. Verder ook een perfecte foto.
Groeten,
Peter

Great capture Jacob. I love the ?cololurs on this bird. Ok the greys...
Nice pose too. Will have to try with the Sigma soon to get some birds. Butterflies and flowers better done with the Macro lens.
