A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of that beautiful bird and its pretty location. Like the detail in both. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely taken!

A very nice shot that is well composed. The exposure for the black plumage is excellent and the pampas grass makes a great perch. Great colors and fine details.

Beautiful shot!! I love th3 look if this lone black bird. His bright red wing stands out nicely. The reed he is sitting on, with its nice creamy colour creates a nice contrast. Beautifully composed, background is nicely blurred. Well done!!

What a beautiful photograph of the red winged blackbird and the grass he chooses to sit on. Your timing to capture the image is great and the presentation with blurred background fits this wonderful presentation so nicely.
Thank you so much for sharing.

Barbara,
A beautiful picture of the male Red-wing Blackbird perched on what looks like the seed head of Pampas Grass his head turned watching you. The light catching the sparkle in his eye, the shine on his beak while highlighting his plumage & red & yellow epaulettes. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
Susan

What a beautiful portrait of this Red Wing Blackbird. It is well lit and framed and the focal point is perfectly placed in the left third of the frame. The bird's colors are naturally in contrast with the background which makes for a stunning composition.

This is a finely presented black bird on a puffy seed spray. The shot is focused, sitting nicely framed and visually enjoyable. DOF worked out fine. Ray

Apparently, this Blackbird found a perfect perch. The bird looks cute on the fluffy seed head of the reed grass. Your photo is excellent focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of color and light and the refinement of detail. The colors of the bird are impressive. Its distinctive markings on the stand well from the black feathers of the wings. The photo is well composed. The bird is excellent placed within the frame. The diagonal presentation of the reed grass pleases the equilibrium of the viewers. The composition is balanced.
