Went to experiment flash on crow today, saw some pelicans flying by and caught one with wing span.
All comments and suggestions are welcome.
Hmmm, seem like there is a color cast, will try to fix that and repost later.

Nice, love the wing span, and the detail in the wings. can't wait to see your crow:)
Thanaboon, Nice capture of wing span at full extension, and cropped to accentuate it. Repost looks good, but I will be interested in what the gurus say about the dull BG, which sort of matches the color of the bird.
Hi - Looks like the original is a tad under exposed - I would go and set a black point and a white point in P.S. - might also worth changing the white balance of the RAW to cloudy and see what that gives you.
As presented it is a little flat - lacking some contrast - the head area looks a little soft on my screen - some more DOF might have been in order.
Love the wingspan!!!!!
Repost if you make some more changes.

Nice full wingspan, in this case I would have gone with +0.3 or even +0.7EV. The sky is gray and doesn't add much to the image, I would prefer to blow it up and get the bird brighter, especially the shadow areas under the wing.

Hi Thanaboon,
The repost is much better, but still needs a boost of saturation and contrast, might open up the mid-tones too...I like the angle of capture with the open wing span...looking forward to your next one...:cool:
another repost
adjust white point, add contrast, add saturation, sharpen head a tiny bit more.
This is an amazing shot. It looks underexposed and has a colour cast, but the sharpness and wingspan are terrific. I tried a rework, I hope you don't mind. Put it through I Correct Colour and then curves.
Thank you Jackie for the repost, I really like it. Look so much better.
You are welcome, it is such a stunning image I hope you rework it and post it in Avian.
