I had to tone this one down a bit, because of the lighting, not sure if it was enough, but it is what it is. :) I thought it was still worth sharing.
I appreciate your comments, thank you!

Awesome capture of this fellow. I've never seen one quite that color, usually ours are so black that we just don't notice them.

In spite of the white background the bird looks quite sharp and clear. Nice one Sandi.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
It looks really great Tigz. They are a beautiful bird for being so dirty and destructive. I like the presentation very much. I might have cloned out the dark areas above its head and to the left of the limb.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
I think your photograph is spectacular! Perfect focus on the bird, revealing an abundance of stunning detail. You left a visually appealing, not overpowering, blend of branches in the image and created a glowing white background to showcase the star(ling) of your photograph.
And look at that expression that you captured. Wow, intense, focused, and ser-i-ous!
Definitely worth sharing! Thank you!

I thought yesterday was supposed to be the first day of the rest of my life but it turns out today is. (Steve Martin)
Excellent details on this bird Sandi and I think the background works.

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. Albert Camus
The background lighting has brought the bird more detail to us

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Not only are the patterns of feathers on starlings impressive, so is their intellect, character, and voice. Listen...

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Looks all good to me Tigs.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
You did well considering the harsh conditions of this shot.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967
Really great contrast with this one Sandi. That bird is really textured.

Amazing bird, captured ever so perfectly, light is magnificent, the details are mind boggling. Favorite.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
The bright white background works well here. This image needs to be viewed full size to appreciate the feather details you captured.
