Boat-tailed Grackle (Florida)

[Dorian Anderson]

Another female from the same session which produced my last result.

I thought the shadow was fun, but -- as usual -- we'll see what the peanut gallery says!

Obviously more texture in the FG/BG since this bird was lower than the previous.

Yes, I like the shadow as well! The insect prey item is a cool bonus too. I actually feel it would benefit from a touch more canvas top and bottom. but I's be quite happy with this!

Looks pretty cool to me:details in all tones, pleasing composition and a really complimentay shadow.
