Wanda, I love, love, LOVE this photo! The contrasting shapes of the thin, drab colored verticals of the cattail stalks with the rounded, colorful blackbird. The thin, hard edged stalks against the fluffy pods. The detail of the face, legs and claws. The fuzzed-out background that emphasizes the foreground more. The lighting! This is just a superb photograph.

Willy, wishing you safe travels. I hope you have the chance to photograph something real exciting to make hauling your tripod with you worthwhile. (warm smile) Wanda

Wanda... I LOVE the colors and crispness of this picture... I am traveling to western New Mexico (from Michigan) next week... and you've inspired me to pack my tripod.... congrats on all your work! :)

Ben, the images of My yellowheaded black birds are sharp because I used a tripod! One of the few times I have actually bothered to get out the tripod. As you can see, using a tripod makes a HUGE difference! Now I just need to stop being lazy and use the tripod more often. Most of My other photos were taken "hand held" and therefore not near as sharp! Wanda

Great shot! Although it does seem slightly over-sharpened.

Look out, Billy boy, excellent pictures, well done Wanda

Wow -- love the DOF. I didn't know there was any such thing as a yellow-headed blackbird (sounds a little oxymoronic).

Herb		25-May-2005 01:20
Great shot

Jim McKinlock		06-May-2005 23:43
Great shot Wanda, I like this shot better than the one Bill posted, but don't tell him that, I don't want to hurt his feelings.

Guest		06-May-2005 03:24
Amazing shot Wanda. You are a real pro at this. You have a great teacher I am sure:)

Lazy 3L Photography		05-May-2005 04:59
LOL, there isn't much else to say except that I agree with everyone else....great shot!

Robin Reid		04-May-2005 14:35
Bingo Wanda! This one is "out of the park." Color, detail, and comp are terrific. And the way you caught the bird hanging onto the willows adds interest and a bit of tension.

Shayne		04-May-2005 14:02
Awesome Image... Got my vote. Great DOF, the detials of the bird and cattails are sharp. Keep up the great work Wanda

Guest		04-May-2005 12:42

Steve Patterson		04-May-2005 11:45
Beautiful shot, Wanda. Lighting is very good, both on the bird and the willows. Congratulations! steve
