Hello Hil
You have captured a lovely pov on this male blackbird..The angle is just right showing super sharp details on all of his body..Its great to see the flight feathers on the wings compared to the softer feathers on his body.
Superbly taken and tfs.

Neat notion with the sound....This B'Bird looks much like I expect them to, and as I remember them back in E US in Ohio...I am still becoming familiar with ours here int eh western part....it is a big world, but photos such as these make it smaller in a good way!

Hi Hil,

This is one of the birds I would love to see one day. A wonderful pose in the tree. Excellent blacks with the yellow beak and eye ring. Superb details of the face, plummage and wings. His feathers look so silky.

Hello Hil,

I think blackbirds are such aristocrats!
They move like royalty with their hops and regal sureyances of the land!

You have captured this to perfection!
The light is really making his feathers shine, bringing out all the highlights and shades. His bright eye ring and beak are also nicely shown.

Grat pov and good composition.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Hil.
You had wonderful shot always but now you take simply amazing shots. Fine scene and stunning reproduction of the feathers, beak, eye and legs of the bird. Twigs and leaves create an excellent surroundings. I like sunlight and vivid colours a lot. Bravo. Well done.
