  Ditto what Jan said - The color of the bg and the dof really make this pop! What great detail and a great catch! Beautiful shot Terry! -K

  Oh Terry! This is such a great shot! We are in awe of the ability of the redwinged blackbird to perch and this image shows that to perfection!

  Great shot, Terry. The DOF creates a beautifully soft, but colorful background.

  I saw a stand of cattails yesterday, and was thinking I should go back to see if I could catch a bird hanging on to one. You beat me to it! Awesome capture, with great dof. I love the colorful background.

  Looks like he's hanging on for dear life, Terry! I love the unique position you caught him in, with his head angled around the cattail and his body on the other side, you did an outstanding job on this!!!
