GRACE, this a a fantastic shot of Red Winged Blackbird! I like blurred background. It makes the subject impornant. I also like the full face of blackbird. Sharp focus, perfect composition. I would love to give the highest six for all of your posted photos. They are more than photos because I can see spirit of the birds and characters! Simply beautiful!!!

    Thank you very much! Your remarks are so nice and the six star rating is nice too. I think very highly of your talent and the work I have seen in your portfolio so I know the feeling about not having enough sixes to give :)

Wow! I love these Redwing Blackbirds....and love that you captured him balancing on a cattail. Very well photographed with spectacular lighting and spot on sharp focus. I like the nice sharp focus on the eyes....superb eye clarity . Your colors and details incredible. Your choice of aperture blurring your background with a lovely field of bokeh. Excellent composition....your central composition is engaging. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing! Spectacular!

Great shot! As always, your subject is crisp. You caught the highlights in the eyes and the pale brown background really makes the bird pop.

It's a beautiful capture ! Well photographed with good focus, the image is clear to view, nice detail throughout with good eye contact complete with catchlights in both eyes! Well handled exposure , the colors and tones are natural, I love that pop of red! Well composed with the bird on the cattail. Background brings him forward without distraction! Very nice work!

A really nice capture of this Red Wing. I love the colors on these guys and this one is especially interesting with the overlap of black feathers on the red part of the wing. Great shot of him looking right at you. Great work Grace ~ Steve

Comment from Trajan


Great shot of a blackbird guarding its territory. I love the red and yellow wing epaulets. It really pops and provides a great focus point.
The depth of field is quite well placed and it is a tidy image.
Well done.
