Terrific BG you got here, and I love the way the blackbird is gripping the top of the perch. This fella is giving it is all! I do find the contrast a bit strong IMO, with some of the blacks blocked.

Hi John. I agree with Daniel, but really like the open beak pose. The colouring is similar to the Red-back fairy wrens we have here in Brisbane.

Very Nice image. I like the blue colors at the bottom of the image. I agree with all other comments.

Reducing contrast might help the image .

Thanks for sharing

Agree with the above comments. I would also give it a touch more breathing room if you have it, or add a little canvas. :) TFS
