The background was a mowed field of grass that had dried.  It seems to give the photo a painterly feeling.

Canon 7d Mark II
Sigma 150-600 at 600 mm
1/1250 at f6.3
ISO 640

Thanks for looking.  Comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Hi Allen
I like the framing, but the Blackbird looks a little pasty?

Beautiful color in the bird, Allen, and I like the bg.  The bird seems just a bit soft to me, as if the AF locked onto the leaf behind it.

Sweet portrait of this handsome fellow. Nice details where it counts, a pleasing composition as presented. Excellent exposure control, I like seeing gradual plumage colors.

Excellent Work Allen!
