RWB walking down snow hill.

[Daniel Cadieux]

This could have been an exposure nightmare, but using fill-flash in this situation helped retain details in the blacks as well as keeping some detail in the snow. Not your typical "RWB on a cattail singing and flashing epaulettes" photograph, but that is one reason I like it:).

Canon Rebel XT +100-400L @400mm, 1/1250s, f/7.1, ISO 400, no EC, fill-flash @ -0.7 FEC, handheld.

Very nice. This one breaks the RWBB mold for sure. I like it.

Cool striding pose and setting but it looks a bit flat on my monitor, maybe a tad more contrast.

Great pose Daniel with the raised foot just adding that hint of action. Good work on keeping detail in blacks and whites. (As you say, an exposure nightmare)!!
What is the RWB?

[Grace Scalzo]

Very nice, Daniel. I think you did a great job with exposure and caught him in a nice pose with that raised foot.

Red-winged Blackbird

Thanks Axel - not one I am familiar with but should have been able to work that one out :)

[Steve Canuel]

Unique capture, nice image. Colors and detail look good. I agree with Axel on just a touch more contrast on the bird.

Very nice Dan! Details and exposure are right on.
