Looking through some shots I took a few months back I came across these shots of a Female Blackbird. I would appreciate some comment on the composition - are they a bit "messy" ? Suggest you zoom in a bit! By way of a small correction the Shots 1 and " are of a juvenile Blackbird and No 3 is a Female Adult Blackbird!

Very nice set. The Eurasian Blackbird is a member of the thrush family like our American Robin. Considering the habitat where they are found I don't think they are to busy. I would make a couple of changes to No. 2 if I may show you.

I just removed what I thought were some foreground distractions using Photoshop Generative Fill

You know, a lot of people might say "messy," but my eyes immediately focused on your subjects, whose beauty should obliterate to smithereens any other concerns 🤎🤎⭐🤎🤎 Let people think what they think. You did a fabulous job showing use these gorgeous specimens in their habitat 🥇

I think maybe the iso of 800 produced some softening. I tried Topaz Denoise and it replay sharpened the third photo
Hope this helps.

I started to question your ID of these lovely birds, but a second perusal made me realize they were British birds. I knew they were some kind of Thrush!
Thanks for sharing them!

I'm not a birder, but I think you did very well. I'll admit that in the first one the bird gets a little lost, but in the others the birds stand out nicely.

I like all of them, they are in their natural habitat, so not messy, I think the only one I would crop or eliminate anything from would be No. 2 by taking a little out of the bottom of the image.
