I really like this shot. I like the very limited colors that are included. Yet even with only the basic blacks and shades of black and gray they are shape and distinct, well lighted and defined. We don't always need bright colors to make a cool bird shot. Good luck.

These are such funny birds to watch and usually found in groups. Your composition is good handling the bare branches framing the bird.
Colors are natural and the focus is good.

I like the angle showing the expressive eye of this Apostlebird. Focus is also great, textures are prominent. Framing placement is fine with sufficient negative space for your subject to move. Well done.

I am not familiar with this bird at all and even though the image is a little dark I enjoyed the view. Focus is right on target and I love the pose. All in all, very interesting! Nicely Done! Good Luck in the Contest! :o) Helvi

This is a new one for me, it's a bird I haven't seen before.
Nice entry for this contest, you have captured it well and I like the way it is posed and positioned within the frame.
Well focused, this image is sharp and clear and your exposure is correct bringing forward natural colors and tones.you have brought out well defined detail in feathers, face and beak and I appreciate the clear eye.
Well composed in natural surroundings. Well presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

An interesting shot of the apostle bird, that I'm not familiar with. The shot looks great against the black branches he's perched on, and the blue sky sets it off quite well. Good luck in the contest

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of your handsome bird and its location. Never heard of an Apostlebird before! Shades, tones and colours are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

Comment from Ray Gordon


This is a beautiful capture of an Apostlebird, framed by the branches of a wild cherry tree. The bird is nearly visible and so well camouflaged percked against the pale blue sky. Nicely presented. The best of luck in the contest. Ray
