What a great shot.

This is a cool capture, the angle of the shot is great.

The 2 birds are well placed in the frame and gives a nice balance.

The birds details are well defined and visible.

There is a nice easiness about this shot - just a couple of birds getting on with the day.

Well done piece ... B-)) Bob

    This is just one of those lucky shots captured while clicking the camera in the hope of a good shot of these fast moving birds..the best of about six shots.

This is great! I love the black bird in the lower right as he is looking up. The angle that you captured him in is humorous and interesting as he is really stretching his neck. The robin is also curious. You have to wonder what they are looking at when you view this wonderful photograph. Nice work, Susan.

Comment from Joyce GR


That was so very funny, plus the fact that it is such a great picture with a tale to tell. Birds usually stick to their own kind, but like humans, under certain situations they make friends and converse with others.

Such a cute title and interaction between these two! I really like how the blackbird's head is upturned. There must be some very good eats up there :)

    Grace,
    Thanks a million for your complementary review on this picture of the Robin & Blackbird gazing up at the noisy Starlings trying to empty the Caged feeder without success...I have Raspberry Netting around the Lower half of the Caged feeder to slow them down. The small birds can still get in easily from the top. If you look on the snow you can see black Sunflower seeds I scattered for the ground feeders.

A painterly feel.
Sharply focused.
Fine texture.

Good perspective & long depth of field...

They are probably plotting how to get up there themselves! Your nice composition offers us an enjoyable look at your nice nature scene. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely taken!

Hahaha this is so cute! The expressions on their faces are priceless! Those Starlins tend to just bombard and take over! Thanks for sharing, Susan. It made me laugh. I needed one today!

You know you must be getting old when you think you can hear them talk. I've listened for years. A very fine shot with the posture of the two birds complimenting each other.
