Red-winged Blackbird

I captured this image in April 2012 at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. I worked up the image from the original today using improved processing skills learned since I shot the image. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

They are not as colorful now. Nice in habitat shot. PP looks good.

Nice image Joe, i like the contrast between the black, red and yellow

[Tom van den Brandt]

Very nice Joseph. I like the contrast between the bird and light BG.

Cheers, Tom

A nice catch of a difficult, dark subject in a lovely setting. I long to see a little more contrast in the darks, and the lightest tones a little darker. The information is there in the raw file. And a little warming would remove the blue cast on the bird.

Thank you all for viewing and commenting, very much appreciated.

Dianne I followed your suggestion and warmed the image, thank you for suggesting. I shall also work on the dark tones as you suggested.
