I love how you captured this bird with such a proud appearance. His "puffed up" chest gives him the appearance of having just been named "top bird". The muted background is lovely behind the well-defined bird's feathers.

Comment from Minnie Kaye


My mom is a big fan of Edgar Alan Poe. This reminds me of him.
He is beautiful and I love how the sun is making him SHINE.
Great job in getting all the details in that rock.
I love how you used the blurred vision for the background, it really makes him pop.
Great piece, thanks for sharing.

Dof is really good in this one,like how the bird is separated from the distance,good detail in the black feathers,not easy by any means,do wonder if a vertical might have improved this,but minor detail as its still a good one..Brian

Quote the Raven: "Nevermore." LOL An excellent, well-detailed photo capture. The bird really stands out against the water in the background. Edgar Allen Poe would like it, as do I.

A great image. Amazing detail and focus. He wanted to be a star and he knew you were the girl to make it happen. I mean look at that expression on his face, He was loving the attention. This is putting a smile on my face because his expression is priceless.
Great accomplished captured shot.

Excellent capture of this beautiful Raven, Pat, perched on the rock as he digests his French Fries - hope he enjoyed them although I'm sure they shouldn't form part of his diet! I love how the sun shines on his glossy feathers. Excellent lighting and focus showing great detail. Great composition. Suzanne

What a gorgeous close-up view of this raven. The clarity of this black bird is outstanding with perfect detail and exposure of the black. Silky smooth and beautiful texture is what I see in this black feathered beauty. Well done all the way around!

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Excellent choice of an avian obscure subject.
A cute & candid capture!!
An interesting initial impact.
Nice notes...

That's a high end diet of French fries! ;-))

Sharply focused.
I like how his tail captured perpendicular to that rock!

Fine features & textures.
Subtle illumination.
Ideal off centered letterbox framing.

Nice perspective & narrow DOF.
Thanks for sharing...
