Juvenile Blackbird
I don't normally do wildlife shots ( so be gentle with me 
) but this Juvenile Blackbird was in my garden eating an apple I'd put out and kindly let me take a pic.

It's a great shot! Nice pose from the bird and sharp. Only thought I have is I would have zoomed out a bit and given the bird a bit of space around it. If you're getting some rapport from the subject I'd encourage it and shoot some more, because it's lovely opportunity

That's great, but in this case I'd open out the crop a little and get the head and feet in shot xx

Prefer the second one too Daisy - the first one is crying out for a little breathing space at the top
