Very unusual capture. Amazing noise control for such a high ISO>
Well done.

Great action and pose, Lennart. It's sharp where it needs to be. I do wish that bright lower branch hadn't been there as I find it a bit distracting.

This is an amazing image--composition perfect, and the snow adds somethng to thestory about the harshness of Winter

Incredible, a black coloured bird and white snow !!. Looks amazing and perfect selective focus, not easy conditions and you made it work so well.

All the best and wonderful shot.

Danny.

Thank you for your nice comments.
This day we had bird seed in an automatic feeder close to the blind.

I like the flight pose and head turn, very cool. The lower branch on the set up perch interferes a little with that otherwise outstanding pose. Nice timing to capture the Raven, they are tough to photograph, so smart!!!
