Blackbird in BW

This is quite a bit different from the usual very colorful photos seen here, but sometimes you have to make lemonade.
I took this photo on an overcast day and as there was only the barest amount of color in the photo, I decided to convert to BW. I liked the simplicity of the scene, seeing just enough of the bird's eye and beak and the diagonals of the reeds. Richard

Interesting processing choice here. I like the idea of trying something different. For me, I think this would have worked a bit better if there had been more detail in the feathers. I do like the random reeds poking up through the frame.

Too dark for detail.

I like the simplicity of it, too. It has a neat graphic feel to it. Excellent composition.
