Firsts sign of spring, a male red-wing black bird setting up his territory before the females arrive.
Any feedback welcome. A slightly re-worked version of an image was posted recently before this week’s challenge.
Is this a composite: No
f/6.3, 1/640, iso1000. 600mm on full frame.
Absolutely beautiful! I can hear the song right now. The crisp, dark bird, the soft background (and I love that one stem of grass is foreground!) and the position of the bird on the right side. Lovely. A great way to start my morning, especially since I heard them singing yesterday.
Bryan, this silhouette of the RWBB works very well, with the mix of grasses and overall warmth adding well to the clarity of the song.
I have so enjoyed this photograph all week long. It has all the elements of that darn bird! Thank you.
Glad you find enjoyment in this photo.
