    Default Bosque Blackbirds

    Another Bosque blur, this time with a flock of blackbirds ( mainly red winged with a few yellow headed ). Nikon D7000, Nikkor 600mm, f22, 1/40, iso 100. Removed a 50 cent sized blob of green from the bg. Minor routine PS adjustments. Note the clean base; reading the Pleasing Blur book. C & C appreciated.

    Great image. Wonderfully composed with nice layers of color behind the blackbirds. Keep 'em coming.

    Gary, I think the blackbird blurs were my favorites of the blurs I took. I like this one a lot. I think you need to crop a sliver off of the left side to eliminate that black line at the bottom left. I especially like the different bands of colors of the cornfield. Nice one! I hope you've got lots more

    Gary, Another lovely blur. We were lucky to get the Blackbirds blasting over and over. Nice clean bottom edge and Cheryl mentioned the left side. Love seeing the bits of red in there!

    I am a big blur fan and this is excellent! I love how the entire image is blackbirds. The clean bottom edge is noted and something that is easy to forget in the blur of the moment. The bits of red and yellow from the black birds add wonderful bits of color (and species ID for those of us interested).

    Totally missed the left edge. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Repost with fix.

    I love that you caught some of the red and yellow markings of the blackbirds. I like the various textures in the image. Nice work.
