Great shot of this grackle. And the bokeh is very cool - looks like glass marbles.

You captured their "attitude" perfectly devil They would be such pretty birds, if their call weren't so darned annoying! sad

Now I know why these guys are picked as the villans in the cartoons --- mean looking fella -- needs a bit more room at the bottom if you have it

cool pose, and a nice job on the exposure. Personally I'd prefer more room at left and bottom, and less on the right.

Very cool pose, Neil. Looks like a mean customer. Great job on the blacks.
