Red Wing Black Bird

Actually I really like the composition, I think the issue is the black being too black. And that is a really common problem with RWBB. I have tried and failed to take a good picture of them many times, it really takes the right light to get good detail with them. Hope that helps :thumbup:

Thanks, Bill. I was able to being out some detail in the top pic in post but your right. They are very dark!

Agreed with the above lighting makes all the difference

cool, nice shot. i got a nice photo of a black bird with red wings too when i lived in Tennessee there was a park and i would often see them there.

I did my best given that the sun was behind the mountain. Plus, I was enjoying the display they were giving me. Definatley different than the typical bird on a branch pic you usually see(not that there is anything wrong with that!).
Thanks for looking.
