Brown and Black Bird - Wildlife! by taffy

Brown and Black Bird - Wildlife!

For my get pushed challenge this week (@trudio), I was pushed to photograph wildlife, leading me to the shot of pigeons yesterday as a last ditch effort to find any wildlife worth photographing. Much to my surprise and excitement, I was able to catch some wonderful birds near the Shedd Aquarium. I know nothing about birds so here is my favorite one because of the branches and the rich tones of its feathers. Yay!!
@trudio I'm so much happier with this shot, compared to the pigeons. There IS wildlife in the city -- I wasn't looking in the right places! Thanks for the push to move away from architecture, flowers, and other non-moving things!

This is a really beautiful shot, perfect setting, perfect composition, IMO.

Wow -- you did it! You got a clear photo of a bird! But more, those branches are utterly fabulously photographed! The three dimensionality shown through the lights and shadows -- a spectacular capture.

Nice shot! The branches and bokeh are great. I'd like to see this with just a touch of HDR.
