Nature Little Birds

Some little birds (blackbirds) at the house of my parents. Because of the backlight the big blackbird is underexposed but I didn't want to use the flash because otherwise the birds would be disturbed.

Exposure of a dark subject is tough, especially with a bright background, but you can have a look at the forum's article on how to expose for birds for more info.

I think you've done well for the circumstances though.

Hope you don't mind. Fussed with your shot a bit in PP...

I don't like this one. It's too foggy.
