Red Winged Blackbird

[Lorant Voros]

This picture was taken on my last birding trip to Estado De Mexico. I did a minor cropping, sharpening, converted to sRGB, darkened and added saturation to try to make the posted image look like the one on my screen. Colors are still a bit flat though and red is toasted on this version (original isn't). Comments are welcome.

Great light and exppsure IMO, as well as BG, perch, textures and pose.
Congratulations!

Frankó ez így is Lóri! ;)

I like everything about the image my friend. It has superb BG, great, clean subject with perfect HA. Thanks for sharing! :)

I like the angle, setting and BG and might make the blacks a bit darker. It looks as if there is a slight S/H halo around the body and there are some artifacts in the BG.

A fine image,
I would darken it a bit, ditto Axel about the halo.

Nice soft light and head turn. Very good out of focus BG and sharpness. Composition works for me :-)
