Red-winged Blackbird
Was able to do a little shooting after work at Crown Hill. Thanks for looking.

Canon 1D Mark2
500mm f/4L

Sehr gut! I like the expression he seems to offer, and how he clasps the top of the cattail.

nice, Dan! great calling pose, nice detail in the blacks, reds well under control, classic RWBL perch. feels just slightly tight to me at top and left, but only personal preference, and easily added with this bg even if it's not in the original.

Hey Dan- I like the image as is! Goof detail and like the open beak. You should have fun with the birds returning.

Another winner.

'Another winner' says it all for me.
I enjoy the catch light in the bird's eye and how you were able to keep detail in the black areas.
An overall beautiful image of a beautiful bird, Dan.
