wow! what a guilty look..i would say caught beak beaked instead of red handed...lol..the clarity is great. the capture of the light is great. the angle of the shot of this feathered thief is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye ad great job overall.

Mark,
Thanks a million for your complementary review on this thieving Blackbird & for seeing the funny side of her action.
All I could do was smile, not chase her off..I can buy Blueberries in my local Greengrocer she can't!

Comment from Barbara L.
Great look at this Blackbird in the blueberry bush! I like how she's peeking out from behind the leaves. Excellent exposure and sharpness.

Comment from Linda Wetzel
This is a pretty image of the bird in a very alert pose. Clearly it knows you are there and is trying to decide whether to flee. The green blueberries add a nice bit of interest to the leafy plant. It's nice you do not mind them helping themselves to your berries.

I like how you caught this guy peeking at you over the top of the leaves. His tail feathers are in a cute position and his breast feathers stand out nicely.

Comment from michiganmike
I wonder if she has got a guilty conscience. She seems to be paying more attention to you than the berries. A very nice shot with good focus on the eyes.

Comment from alaskapat
Good storytelling image, well captured blackbird in your blueberry Bush , they have to work hard to get the berries from the springy branches, I like the way she is looking out from the bush, like the position of her tail feathers, well composed and presented!
