Great action shot, Yves. You really got just the right moment to hit the shutter button!!

Thanks Jane. I am quite proud of that pose of the bird.

Heather Mellon

Very nice composition here, Yves, and I'm glad you didn't crop the water lily blossoms out. The blackbird stands out very well against the tall grasses and it's nice to get a good view of his surroundings too. It's a beautiful scene.

Thanks for the appreciated comments Heather. So glad you also like the scene with the white lilies.

Very pretty composition Yves. The position of the wings really shows off the blackbird nicely. And the pop of white from the water lilies and nice contrast to the overall image.

Thanks for the nice comment Debra. We sometime discuss about the choice the photographer neds to do when presenting a photo. I could have cropped the bird bigger. Doing so I was loosing the nice white lillies in the corner.
