Birds and posts seem to be a winning combination for you Mike. Really like this, great control of EXP and flash = lots of detail in the blacks. Well done.

[Gus Cobos]

Great capture Mike,
Like the colors, details and the perch is to die for...:cool:

The lichen and the soft colrs make the perch for me. In addition the fine details in the blacks set the bird apart from the pleasing background. The many hues in the blacks cement the image. I like it.

What an attractive Blackbird......and one that I've yet to get. Great exposure leading to nice detail. The BG is perfect and that perch......oh that perch is one with character. I wouldn't mind having one like this to carry in my Jeep....for those special occasions. Well cone.
