    Red winged blackbird calling on plant perch. This was made about two and half hours after sunrise. The light is starting to get a little harsh here. Image adjustments in Lightroom. Hand held, small crop.

    The light looks good to me John. I like the details you have captured on the blacks. Nice HA. The perch looks good and all fits well with that BG. I would try a little more sharpening on the bird.

    Will

    Nice one John. I agree with William re: a bit more sharpening. Love the perch and BG. Catchlight is nice as well. TFS

    You did darned well in the relatively harsh light. Head angle is superb for the singing pose. Are you spending to much time at Fort D?

    Hey John,

    It is great in most years. Get in touch via e-mail if you need any help. I will be running a workshop there in the summer of 2018.

    with love, artie

    ps: where exactly do you live?
