Red-winged Blackbird

I stopped at the Montezuma Wildlife Refuge near Seneca Falls, NY over the weekend to practice with my Bigma. I got this shot of a Red-winged Blackbird. C&C appreciated.

I think this is a great shot. I love the composition with the stems/weeds. You also got the blacks in the bird nicely.

Nice one Becca, love the composition.

Thanks, Ed and Kenny! I appreciate the feedback as I'm still trying to get used to this lens.

Very nice Becca and the light is just right.

How do you like the Bigma? Heavy?

Thanks, Mitch! It was a nice evening, just before sunset. I liked how the setting sun lit up his tail feathers.

I like the Bigma, but it is a bit heavy and cumbersome. I was shooting from the car (they don't like you to get out of the car and disturb the animals) so I had it mounted on a beanbag and balanced on the edge of the window.

Beuatifully captured image in sweet light. Well done Becca.
