Red winged blackbird

I didn’t get to leisurely frame this shot of a male red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus). This was a safety shot, ‘shot from the hip’ so to speak, in case the bird flew off before I could position myself to compose the image in a way I might prefer, which he did, and unfortunately I didn’t include the tip of his tail. In spite of that I liked the image enough to keep and process it anyway. I considered cropping it to make the omission less obvious, but the trade-off was the loss of sense of depth which I felt weakened the image even further.
