Australian Ravens

[Colin Driscoll]

Very difficult birds to get a good shot of, both position and light that brings out details. I've binned more shots than I can count and this one is a bit of a test.
This pair were in a eucalypt tree just off my balcony, so typical habitat, other than picking at road kill, or litter.

There is still some ble there but that is an easy fix. I feel the main issue is that the birds are too large in the frame.

This is an opportunity I would have let go; there is just too much other stuff in the frame to get a decent shot.
