Beautiful images Alan ..... love the Wagtail, and his eyebrows

good wok on both of these ones.you just cant beat shooting in sweet light.
having nice backgrounds like here also makes these really swish.
well done

Great shots both with lovely detail.

[Alan]

Thanks

I didn't think the low light was
'sweet' at the time, but it was 'soft'

[avkomp]

sweet=soft doesn't it?

[Alan]

To me 'sweet' has a bit of morning/afternoon warmth/backlight to it maybe? It was quite dark, so ISO had to be increased, which added noise - so it goes .....
But it's better than harsh midday light for sure, so I'll live with it

Starting to think they look like so many 'bird on a stick' photos..
