Red-winged Blackbird

I liked this for the scene the bird was in and the pose with the feet on two different branches.

Almost a Trumpian pose, Allen! I like very much how the surrounding environment’s colours go with the bird. It certainly looks well-fed - good shot!

HAH!! @Mike_Friel nailed it!! The setting is a bit busy but the pattern on the bird can hold its own against it, so no complaints. The colors match very well.

The bird gets a little soft toward the head, but only noticeable in the large view.

Hi Allen
The framing and colors work nicely in this photograph.

I like the pose a lot, Allen, and the environment is great. There are two light colored out of focus twigs or something, one parallel with the top of the head and the other coming down to the beak that you might want to remove. A fine image.

Doing the splits! What great complimentary colors in the bird and the background. Good pose and I agree with @Mike_Friel about this bird looking well fed. Good tail spread and overall angle of the bird.
