Nice job with the lighting here. Depending on the angle grackles can look darker brown with the head being more purple - then again, maybe that's just the way they look around our area (Virginia). I don't know if this is a full frame shot, or you cropped it, but the composition is nice - the bird creates a nice diagonal line across the image.
Did you post-process much? The feathers are quite sharp (noticed your lens has USM), yet the pine needles are blurred. Could be DOF and the needles aren't as close as they appear. Just curious. Looks good. |

| I thought a grackle was just an ugy ol' black bird. This one is so pretty with his prismatic colors. WOW - what a close up. |
