Week 18:

I love these redwinged blackbirds and their antics, I can watch them all day long. These birds have a beautiful song and I find it very soothing. I really liked this in b&w and how the bokeh in the background reminds me of musical notes coming from the bird. I wish I had a bit more space behind the bird as I fell it is a bit tight back there but I'm still happy with how this turned out. The funny thing is that I rarely like wild animals in b&w but I think this works better this way

This is a delightful image, almost makes me want to break out in song. Red winged blackbirds are my favorites, I have fond memories of them in my youth.

Looks good, bokeh helps isolation from the background.

So cute! Looks like he's yelling up a storm. Great black bird against the pale background. Your composition is great, too. Excellent!

This is a shot that makes me smile - to catch a bird in song like this. And you're right - the bokeh supports it very well. Lovely!
