John Absher
commented over 1 year agoNot an often photographed bird either Roy. Most of the bird photographers I know go after less known and seen subjects. As primarily a bird photographer myself, it is also not usual for me to see any bird featured as just an element of a larger picture, if that makes any sense. So, I also like the way you composed this shot to present the blackbird in the larger picture ... very well composed.
