Hello, my today's photo is the Red-winged Blackbird
taking his bath, i was sit on the border of the pond watching
to the ducks when at my back i heard noise (sound) of water,
it was Mister Red-winged who was taking his bath, even if i was
againts daylight (en contre-jour) i decide to shoot the photo

photo shot with my D-SLR-like Fujifilm bridge camera
in RAW format and ISO 400, habitually i give sharpening
to my images (with Photoshop) for this one i did'nt give
and even my camera was set : SHARPENING to SOFT,
and like that i have enough of sharpening

the reason why since the last weeks my camera in
the sharpening is set at SOFT, it is because i love to
give sharpening with Photoshop to my images, so i decide
that with the camera it will be soft to not over-sharpen
when i will give it too with Photoshop

in this image i am happy that we can see his wing's red patch

Hello Asbed,

He is taking a bath and that have i notseen befoe.

Gert

Hello Asbed
This is a fine capture
You have frozen the action perfectly with water leaping and near waves coming out from this very clean Red winged Blackbird.
I always leave my camera set to standard and then PP if needed in photoshop...Its a far better tool than the cameras limited ability to sharpen picture onboard.
My best Regards to you
Paul

Hi Asbed,

A very unusual shot of this blackbird "taking a bath." You did an excellent job of freezing the bird in what seems to be very rough water. Nice colors and details - I love the touch of red. We are all different - the less I have to sharpen a picture the happier I am!

Bellissima cattura, molto bella la composizione con i rami che affiorano dall'acqua, l'azione è fermata molto bene, ma non si possono apprezzare bene i dettagli, belli i colori. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hello Asbed, superb and funny capture of this washing bird:). TFS. Regards, Deniz

Hello Asbed,
So much action in this image just frozen in time. The shimmering water and falling droplets capture the eye.
Thanks for bringing to my enjoyment! Thomas

Asbed,

This bird must enjoy taking baths - just look at the water flying everywhere! It was a very nice opportunity and you used it very well. Great work.

Best Regards,

Martin

What a scene Asbed! The bath time for this bird must be rigorous. I like the splash and the bird in perspective here. well done and thanks for sharing, Jusni

Hello Asbed, nice capture of this Red-winged Blackbird taking his bath. Colour is good and you have good sharp detail on the bird and splashing water. I think your choice to leave the sharpening as soft on your camera, and you deciding on what is a appropriate after, is the proper choice. It turned out well.

Thanks, John

Bonjour Asbed, je n'avais pas vu celle-ci, quelle vie! Vraiment, tes photos sont de plus en plus réussies, chapeau! J'adore la vivacité du mouvement de l'eau et de l'oiseau qu'on ne voit plus tant il bouge. La couleur est superbe et malgré le contrejour, comme tu dis, tout est parfait. Merci!
