Bird on a Wire

Bird on a Wire
This week in SSC:

"Selective Color"

(I only colored the red and yellow back in.)

This is a Red Wing Blackbird: birdsna.org/Species-Account/bna/species/rewbla/introduction I've always wanted to get a photo of one of these beautiful birds and I got my chance this week. The male makes the coolest sound. (Another photo in the PIP.)

...and for Sight and Sound

Hi Karen

Great composition!
The main wire in focus, those in the background giving it context, and two striking colours making the focal point.

Pity I can't allocate stars in quantities in excess of one.

Best Wishes, and a good weekend
Peter

The selective colour choice works a treat here, Karen. Love the catchlight in the eye :-) And, great use of the diagonal lines. A perfect musical match for 'Sight and Sound'. A new name to me. And, until I just did some research I did not know that Perla Batalla did backup singing for Leonard Cohen and that Leonard encouraged Perla to embark on a solo career. Guess what.....yes.....I will be checking out Perla's music on iTunes and Amazon :-)

Thank you for posting to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music

Thanks, Roger.
