One I captured earlier this year at the beach on the Greek island of Rhodes.

Thanks for having a look

This is lovely Bill.
The blue of the Mediterranean is beautiful and really adds to this image.
Exposure is perfect.
I like the conical shape of the perch as well. Perfect head angle.
Light is a bit harsh but still more than acceptable.
Nice one!

Cool-looking crow!
The bird gave a good look, nice exposure and pose. I find the beak of this birds to be massive! TFS

Well designed image with a lovely perch (which I would be tempted to darken a bit) and neat BG (I first thought it to be too cyan, but I have never seen the Mediterranean). Perfect head angle, and well balanced composition.

I would also darken up the perch, but the bird looks good and a nice BG color.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the perch, HA, details, composition and BG. I agree with darkening the perch. Nice image William.

[Raybel Robles]

Very nice image. The blue BG is beautiful. The bird is perfectly sharp. I agree with darkening the rock a bit.

[William Dickson]

Thanks for the replies and advice. Much appreciated. The darkened perch sure does make it better :S3:

Despite the harsh looking light, the frame looks great and the RP adds a bit. Love the BG color. Well done
