She looks all refreshed from her recent bath Vicki! Brilliant closeup with fabulous feather detail, eye contact, focus, dof, color, lighting, and blue background. Exceptional!!!!
 
It took me a long time to figure out that these birds are the female of the redwinged blackbird species! And the ones I've seen move very quickly, so my hat's off to you, Viki for finding this girl in the mood for a photograph.
