Well nothing really special, just your everyday common Blackbird but a little closer up lol. The DoF was a little shallow sorry but these shots were taken spur-of-moment with the SP90Di

Hi Mitcon,
what a shot, I think the shallow DoF makes you focus even more on the eye, great exposure and color.
What a reflection in # 2, I often look for this in photos, but rarely ever see it, well done,
Regards,
Clare

First post, first picture. I am brand new at this game. I bought some equipment to shoot motocross pictures and happen to shoot his blackbird stealing my dogs food in the yard.

Very informative forum, I have looked at many of the pictures on here and read many of the posts. Glad I found this....

Just a blackbird true Mitcon, but you have put the wow factor to this bird in this shot. great to see the photogrpahers reflection in the eye, beautiful, well done.

Welcome to the forum motocrossnut, that's an interesting shot of this blackbird, nice eye colour and he has a determined look while he eats 'Dog-food'

Very interesting bird with the yellow eye ring which you have brought front and center in the second shot:lol: Super close up and great reflection once again but this time in a much smaller bird. Nice work!

It's a Blackbird but different from our blackbird definitely. And you made a beautiful art out of the subject Wayne. That's not many bird photographers can do.:D
Sharp images, nice bokeh in #1, and the reflection of yourself in #2 is priceless.
