Blackbird by frappa77

Blackbird

My get pushed partner this week is @mumswaby who challenged me to take a picture of an animal or bird...

This is my first answer to the challenge! Only now I realize how difficult it is to capture animals "equipped with wings"! Today was an extraordinary windy day and the birds were particularly agitated...

I thought to use this entry for the Song Title #7 challenge, too!

The song I have in my mind is "Blackbird" by Beatles, covered by Sarah McLachlan...

Oh I absolutely love that Beatles song and this is an amazing picture with the bird silhouette against the clouds. Big fav

I really love this challenge and I'm happy to still have 2 days to work on it...
I live in a suburb of Rome and there are only cats and dogs around and a lot of scared birds, not easy to capture! But I haven't lost the hope to find something special... ;)

Huge fav for me. The simple structure or composition only gives this such great ominous power.

Thanks a lot!
I would have liked to take a close up of a bird, but it was impossible for me to catch one! So I changed my program and I was happily satisfied by it! I probably need of a proper "hide" for my hunting! ;)

Nice silhouettes, I would have been hard with the birds flighty because of the weather. Still a nice shot and good for the challenge.
June 17th, 2016

Wonderful sky and silhouette.

Gorgeous composition.

Love the silhouettes with the monochrome tones..
June 20th, 2016  
The composition is particularly made effective by the light from above the bird.
