All the colors in this image are so lovely. They have a nice bright and cheery quality to them. The flowers looks almost painted onto the branches and the bird's markings stand out nicely.

a lovely image of the red winged blackbird against the beautiful blossom in the tree,
the bird stands out clearly against the sky, good focus and clarity, well framed and presented.

KODAK MOMENT ALERT LEVEL 10 !!! My Chinese students once asked me why I carried my camera with me all the time.I answered " Because you never know when a Kodak Moment will jump up and bite you right in the ass !! She laughed and right at that instant fell on her ass courtesy of the ice. You'll never convince me that God is not a woman with that vicious sense of humor. lol

Nice composition, but, I would prefer to see the bird better, he is almost lost in the frame

nice colors and light handling

thanks for sharing

This is a wonderful shot of nature. You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

A very nice exposure with good detail in both the white flowers and the black bird. The composition is attractive and the colors could not be nicer.

Stunning - I love the diagonal lines of the branches, and the splash of colour the bird provides. This is a nicely constructed shot with good use of natural light. Well done.

Very nice piece. The flowering tree would have been good by itself, as would the Red winged blackbird. The two combined make a really nice shot. Good focus and detail in the bird with a lot of detail. Nice contrast to the softness in the colors of the flowers. Well seen.

Oh,WOW,Barbara!
That's such a strikingly pretty picture,my friend!
I've always thought that male Red Winging Blackbirds were beautiful creatures anyway and your photographic capture of this specimen perching in those impressively flowered branches is Gorgeous!
A vert 'Good Show',my friend!

A gorgeous shot of the Male Red-Winged Blackbird sitting along the Crab Apple blossoms in full bloom. Very well photographed in good lighting, sharp focus, and outstanding details and clarity in your image. Your diffused background compliments your beautiful work. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.
