I like to see the irridescent colours glistening on these birds. Nice and clear seeing him on the waterlily pads. TFS

A new species for me Manyee.
Very well captured, great sharpness and composition.
Good contrasting colours in an unusual situation. I would not have expected to see a blackbird on lily pads!!:)
Well done

Superb capture, Manyee! I love the pose and the brilliant details in the bird. I love the delicate change in colour between the head and the body and you have captured that with great skill

(P.S. Thank you for identifying my chrysalis as that of a rice paper butterfly. It seems the web let me down that time)

The plumage of this blackbird is very beautiful, Manyee.
The metallic copperish sheen on the head in particular is very attractive.
And you have captured it well, utilizing the ambient light.
TFS.

Hi Manyee,

I really like this blackbird. You caught the colors perfectly - the shine shows through. The bird eating on the leaf is wonderful.

Hi ManYee

It is the first time I see this bird so thanks for the introduction. It seems like it could be a cousin of the (glossy) starlings, looking at that beak, the bright eye, and the body shape, etc. You have done well to capture it showing the illumination on the reflective plumage.

I like the composition showing the water bound habitat. The details are sharp while the colours and exposure are excellent.

Good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot
