    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.

    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.
