Bathing Blackbird
Not much colour  to play with in this one. So much rain that  not a lot  using the pools at the moment
D7100
1000ISO
Slight crop
250th @f9
No PP on the blacks
Biggie worth a look.
Thanks for looking

Our Robin in mourning dress, John, except my wife, who spent some time in Germany in hte army claims it's a much superior singer.  Excellent job on the exposure.  I hope your weather dries out a bit soon.

Nice capture of the blackbird, John.  Very good detail and good resolution in the black feathers.  It looks like it was shot through a window.  You must have been keeping dry while your subjects were getting wet!

Superb color and detail in the black areas of this bird.  Not easy to do.  You hit the exposure right on.  I like the eye ring.

John, the larger version is so beautiful.  I love the pose, and you have wonderful detail and sharpness.
