Description

I recently got this shot of a perched black phoebe and, since it is a B&W subject anyway, I converted it to grayscale. They are cool birds but a bit hard to capture. They don’t seem to stick a pose for very long. Got it, though.

Specific Feedback

Cropping work?

Nice catch Dave and I like the black and white treatment. Nice pose and details. Good composition with space in front of the bird.

Very nice look at the phoebe. Perfect for black and white. Composition looks good. They don’t stick around very long, but they do tend to come back to the same perch, in my experience.
