Dave I absolutelly love the light, background and action. The crow´s pose is really nice and the eye contact great. I only wish for a higher shutter speed for the wings (head is very sharp). Composition works fine for me and you did a a very good job saving with the exposure.

Dave, super comp, love the posture with the great eye contact. You have exposed the blacks very well, sharp where it counts, and love the colours in the BG.

I really like the pose and the wing position!

[Fabs Forns]

I love the colors f the BG. I'd have placed the bird more to the right since he's looking left.

Captivating pose and I really like the background. Good job on exposure. I would have preferred the far wing to be sharper, but nice as is.
