This is very nice John.
The BG and light are really nice.
The tail position is a bit different than the usual pics we see here,

You have posted a number of excellent images of the blackbird in the last few days - this is my favorite. Background, the different pose. Looks like it may have had a little breeze behind with those ruffled feathers.
