I really like this! The fence is so stark, and then there is this cute living thing in just the right spot. Love the lighting on his face and showing off some feathers. edawn

Thanks for all the comments. Black Phoebes are black and white, although this one is brownish because it is a juvenile.

I would clone the bird out & then this would be a terrific shot for B&W. Maybe it's the brain expecting colours in a bird as I haven't seen many bird shots that look better in B&W. The fence looks great against the black background.

I agree, the composition is great! Cute birdie. Yvonne

Like how the bird sort of gradually blend into the dark part, also the contrast between the black side and white fence.
