The light looks terrific on this blackbird Dan. Classic pose as well! Nice work!

Good singing pose and nice detail in the blacks, Dan. Some of the reds are clipping and nudging them back a little brings up a bit more detail in the red shoulders and the perch. I would probably crop a little closer and ease back on the sharpening to reduce the halos.

Thanks for the comments!

I like the idea of cropping in a little tighter. And I don't think pulling the exposure back a little will hurt your black detail.

[Julie Brown]

Hi Dan. I like the pose, and the head and feather detail.

[Sid Garige]

very nice pose Dan. Great timing.

[DanWalters]

Thanks again for the advice!
