The Guv'nor

[Joe Murphy]

Shot as the sun was disappearing behind me, this Carrion Crow is a large Male and always has his head feathers fluffed up, presumably to show off his size and dominance, a slight crop from bottom & RHS.

Really a super portrait. Your blacks are exposed perfectly and the details are amazing.

What for a stunning portrait. The exposure ist perfect. Compliment.

A superb portrait. The facial expression is very endearing. Tech specs look good to me.

[John Robinson]

Nice one Joe
O Done the a few times.
One of my favourite birds. Can be surprisingly stupid close up at a pool or drinking holes. They always seem to ffuff up - as you saty to appear bigger. great detail but then I like big close ups anyway.
Cheers

Excellent detail and exposure Joe.

Great portrait. The feather detail is wonderful and the sun shining on the bill is very nice indeed
