This fellow presented himself this morning while I was out working the Orange Bishop again.
I love the pose, perch and feather color on his back.

Richard,

The colors and detail in the feathers are great! I really like the over the shoulder look and that perch is very attractive. Well Done!

Beautiful shot Richard, it is indeed a lovely pose and gorgeous detail in the feathers. Its a shame our own UK Blackbirds are just black, but they do have the sweetest song.

I'm into opportunity shots. You did good here although the head seems softer than the wing. Good framing. :D

Richard,

Great pose. I want that perch, its awesome. The detail is great. I'm not excited about the sky, but that's just me. The comp is great too.

Good detail on the bird, but the image is slightly overexposed, otherwise very nice!!! 8)

The bird and perch are good. I think it would be better as a flash as main light shot so the sky wouldn't be quite so white.

Richard I love the bird and detail in the feathers. The perch is really cool too and very unique(at least where I live). I think it would be "perfect" if the BG was not so white but other than that I love it.

Very nice, Richard. One of the coolest perches I have seen on NSN.

Love the pose and perch is cool to, however, I to think this image is a touch over exposed. None the less, nice capture!

Great light and shooting to you all!
