Excellent shot Andreas, welcome to the avian forum. I love the warm colors, soft light and detail on the face. Sky colours could be a bit more blue, just personal tase.

Sweet shot of this good looking crow!

Hi Andreas, sweet light and I like the comp and pose. Well exposed on the whites showing good plumage detail. There is detail in the blacks, but maybe trying to tease out a touch more will work.

Welcome Andreas, great first post here in avian, I do love the detail, the perch and the BG, IMO with just a little bit of head rotation toward us would be even better.

Great light, bird, perch, background. I'd prefer a better head angle though, and I'd clone or patch out the tiny white speck floating near the perch. Nice to see you as a "Member"!

Perfect, with great eye contact.
