Carrion Crow

I usually only get shots of Crows in-flight or up on a tree so it was good to get this one on a decent perch with a nice BG.
Thanks for looking - critique especially welcome

Nice it is Roy and you sure got some nice feather detail !! Great birds when captured in good light !!!

I like it as presented, I'm sure there are some crop options, little of the left, or top etc but are basically personal taste !!! .. about all I could wish for not having the gray band ... but one fine image and keeper in my book !!!

Looks good the way it is, You have captured the feather detail very well. If anything maybe a crop off the bottom, as the bottom is on the edge of being over powering.

Roy - looking good - likeit as presented - any changes would only be personal taste.
Nice detail in those blacks - courtesy of the soft light and spot on exposure.
Good show :)

I like your composition, the bird on the grassy perch looks great. Congrats on getting such nice detail in the black.
