You know you are hooked on birds when you travel to a great cosmopolitain city and shoot the birds!!
I like your low angle and the ruffled feathers. Good composition.
I would tone down the orange blob on the left.
Light a bit harsh but does illuminate the feathers well,

Thanks for the comments Gail.
I hate cities with a vengeance. Anytime I go to one for work purposes, I try to escape to anywhere I can find some wildlife. We don't get many corvids in southern Spain so it made a refreshing change of species
Got some nice shots in Hyde Park too which i still need to process

Hi Shane, excellent low angle, together with a good HA from the crow. Well exposed on the dark plumage, and I like the hint of the wind swept feathers. Maybe a little more space below, as the feet are right on the edge.

You did well with the harsh light from almost directly overhead. It is a bit tight on the bottom for me.

I normally prefer a more profile look at birds, but with the dishevelled and wind-blown look to the plumage it looks good as is.. Well done for the harsh light...I'd only consider darkening the bottom row of grass as it seems a tad bright. I also agree with the tightness of the comp at bottom.

Thanks for all the comments guys
I dont have any more room in the original file to play with and not sure i could pull off adding canvas at the bottom without it being too obvious
Will post a few more from my trip over the next weeks
