    A sort of fun photo I hope, this is about 80% full frame.
    A raven in the woods begging for a treat I think.

    Great image. Both eyes are visible & I love the view of the mouth. Neat colors on the feathers & wonderful detail. TFS.

    Very dynamic pose, and yes, quite human-like! The tilt of the head si what makes it for me. I do wish critical focus not on the throat feathers though, as the eyes are soft. Perhaps another round of sharpening on those would be worth it.

    Hi Dan, this is different, and I like what you have presented. Amazing to see the tongue almost human like, and I do like the iridescence on the plumage.

    Great and unusual image. In fact I have never seen one like this before, Dan.

    Love this image, I think it is most definitely a fun image. Great detail and of course that open mouth begging or screaming is very cool.
