Comment from Linda Engel
I have a lot of these black birds in my back yard and retention pond. I think they are so pretty. Your capture is a wonderful shot in full view , in great focus and very nice lighting.
Love how you got him on the cat tail branch. Very well framed. Thank you for sharing.

He looks so impressive perched on what is left of the cattail bloom. His piercing stare captures the attention of the viewer. The vibrant red and gold feathers stand out nicely against its black body.

A very nice shot in great light. Last year's cattail looks great and the way he perches on it is typical. I like the colors and think the cropping is about perfect.

I have been seeing more of these in my back yard than I remember from the past. I think they are a very underrated bird. You have captured it very well good focus and good color. Nice catch light in the eyes. I like the cattail stalk you have it on, since this is what I usually find them on. The slight angle makes for interest in the composition. Well seen.

Thank you for the nice review. I really enjoy watching these birds. I have another shot of him flying away from a cattail and leaving puffs floating in the air. He is not the focal point in the shot, but I think I'm going to post it anyway this week because I like the cattail so much!

I look forward to seeing it.
