Judges Comment

The winding road and wild flowers give a strong sense of place and season and form an ideal backdrop for the Red-winged Blackbird, which is placed according to the Rule-of-Thirds to complete an evocative composition.

Photographers Comment

Thank you so much for the kind comments! I am proud to be included among these talented photogs! I shot this w/ my Canon 7d last Spring. I had never seen a Redwing Blackbird before and a dear friend who knew I wanted to see them took me to a spot he knew of. I was mesmerized watching and listening to their calls sounding like a cross between kittens and water drops. The little bird in this picture looks so lonesome and forlorn. He stole my heart. If you are interested, you can see more of my photography on Facebook at PhotOptions. Thank you again! -Jolyne L. Harris
