I always think these guys are one of our more comical looking crows.

Great details in the black there Will and nice low angle. Just a pity about the less than great head turn.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Perhaps a touch big in the frame. I like the blacks, the strutting pose, and the leaf-littered yard (or park). A bit less of a head turn towards us would have been perfect.

Will I like the shot, lovely details, it doesn't appear to have a colour profile attached. I like the range of colours but not convinced I am looking at it optimally. I suspect they will look slightly different if sRGB was embedded.

You have got some super feather detail and sharpness Will and excellent clarity,colour wise it's difficult with different birds going from a very light grey on the heads and neck to an almost black body and of course we have to put different light levels into the equation.

Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated. Hi Dan it was a Graveyard. Hi Jon, I never realised that. Thanks for letting me know. This is it saved with the colour profile.

This bird is not easy to shoot. i think you have made a very good job, colour and pose and also the pov are very good here in my mind !

Will I have looked again in Photoshop, wow that's a belter! Love the colours now. The difference was slight on my screen but it was there.

Hi Will, brilliant low perspective here, and you managed a grewat angled pose. Tack sharp, and you have good DOF through out the bird. Your repost rocks.
