You caught the iridescence of his feather beautifully here. Great shot.

Great shot. Glad it did well. My only nit was that part of the tail and feet were missing. Intense focus and textures. I was speaking to a friend about starlings and he too things they are ugly and nasty. We have those black crows (some call them grackles) and although they eat people's garbage and are kind of creepy, I don't mind them, although some say the same things about them. :)

I'd be interested to know why you think starlings are ugly dirty and nasty??
