    Topaz Simplify 4 buz sim is the single filter applied to this Red-winged Blackbird. I know that whenever I park the car on the side of the road to photograph something, people drive by craning their necks and wondering just what the heck do I find so interesting?!

    This is a sweet capture Nancy, I really like the pose and eye contact. The simplify filter is a great one, and you used it nicely to bring out the iridescence of the dark plumage. I love images like this that show the colors of the so-called "black" birds.

    Great detail in the blacks Nancy and I love the splash of red. Couldn't ask for a simpler BG. Same thing happens to me too when I have the camera out.

    This time of year we can always depend on some birds, Red-wings are always make willing subjects. Nice capture, composition and effect. Well done
