Female yellow headed blackbird resting on a bullrush. I thought I'd leave more of the environment in rather than cropping closer. Canon T2i; Sigma 150-500mm lens; focal length, 439mm; aperture, f/8; shutter speed, 1/350 sec.; distance from subject, 9.95 m.; manual exposure; pattern metering; Automatic IS0, 500

Saw this in the VB and wanted to stop by and say well done! I like that you left it in the context of its environment. I think it adds allot to the shot.

People aren't going to remember the things you do. They're going to remember how you made people feel. Be kind, gracious, and appreciative. Dan Winters - Photographer.
