    I had a great photoshoot yesterday (in between rain storms), watching blackbirds eating berries.

    Thanks for looking

    I'm impressed you managed to even get out with our lovely weather at the moment! Nice to see a variation on a bird on a stick, great timing with the berry in the end of the beak.

    I hope he's left some berries for the incoming waxwings!

    Gotta love the berry in the mouth!
    Well done against that grey sky. Blacks look rich and not washed out ( which often happens when overexposing against that bright sky)

    Hi Will, I really like your comp here, with the Blackbird leaning on the curved perch into space. Blacks spot on, and yes, great to see the berry in the beak. I also like how you have framed the bunch of berries in the LRC.

    The high key works well and the blacks look good. Like the better and the pose.

    Cracker Will. I would take some canvas off the right but no big deal. Othes will have their own prefs.
    Well done.
