Just a simple capture of this female Red-winged Blackbird in nice light. I like the blue & green together to give the image a little color.

Thanks for looking; any comments & suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Nice pose with decent catch light in her eye. Great light and BG but what really makes it for me is that sharp lovely green foliage. Very nice. :toast:

Nicely framed by the green leaves. Good color and details. Alert pose. Thanks for sharing.

Nicely composed and good techs on the birds. I find the highlights on the leaves a bit distracting; if you use Photoshop, you might try pulling them down a bit using the Shadows/Highlights tool.

Excellent setting for this RWBB, Steve. The habitat is a nice complement to the light and you composed the image very well. :toast:

Very nice Steve, this is one where you have to open the larger version to appreciate it. Nice comp with the bird just left of center framed by nice vegetation. The open beak adds a lot. :toast:
