An interesting background to this Grackle shot, particularly in Black & White. The textured back drop is actually swamp water covered in thick green Duck Weed.
Duck Weed is one of the smallest plant to produce a flower. The buds are so small I don’t think I have ever seen one.

Very nice in b/w, I like the textures too!
Thanks 😁. I was pleasantly surprised how much detail displayed on the bird. Black birds are a killer LOL
