I like the third version best. Good detail for black feathers. That's
always tough.

Thanks, Brian! I agree, to this point the "composition" has been
limited to a heavy crop and keeping some high voltage stanchions and
power lines out of the background.
I have been OK, however, with the wild clover and thistles.

Made another try at my favorite Red Wing Black Bird
hunting location
early this AM. Light was from a more helpful direction
at that hour, plus
I was "packing" an AF540 flash with a "VISUAL" flash
extender. Using K20
w/DA55~300.
Am attaching three shots wherein I was actually able
to bring out some
feather detail. With the bright sky behind most all
attempts, even in
spot metering mode, shutter had been too fast for
anything much beyond a
silhouette.
With the ability to throw some light on my side and at
ISO 200, I, also,
had a little shutter speed to combat a gusty 20 mph
wind.
I still consider this a work in progress.
Comment at will.

Yes - definitely better detail in the feathers. I
don't think the birds
have given you the best composition yet but it looks like
you might get
more opportunities.
