Sing to Me

[Milt Berko]

Red-winged Blackbird landed nearby at Wakodahatchee and started to sing. Was able to get a quick grab shot before he took off.

Hi Milt Exposure looks fine, bird is sharp and got a great pose !! Would only lower the red channel a couple of points !!

Will have lots of changes to get them with a good perch and bg in the next few weeks !! Best area seems to be right when you start in !!! ... don't overlook the grackles, with the right light can be spectacular !!!

Hi Mit - agree with AL - exposure looks good - like the open beak pose. if you wanted to make it sronger I think the removal of the dark horizontal line in the BG would do that.
Good show :

Hi Milt....nice catch! You might consider cropping the dark black hole off the top.

i think i know that bird!! first name basis!!! agree with al. and if you find the right bird you can get full frame head shots with your 200mm!!!
