while waiting for the swallow tail kites at anhinga trail sunday afternoon, we played around with some crows. this one was standing on top of my truck.
D300, Bigma at 500mm, f/6.3, 1/500s, +0.3EV, ISO 800, flash fill no beamer at +3.0EV, handheld.
thanks for looking. comments and critiques are appreciated.

I like the details, composition and BG. I might increase contrast and/or adjust the black point. The pupil looks grayish on my monitor.

You must have been really close, the crow starts to soften around the edges. Like the composition.
