Smoky Raven

Caught this Raven in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (Cades Cove). Shutter speed was very slow due to the low light conditions in the forest. However, it turned out pretty well. I didn't particularly like the second post, but it was what it was. And yes, it was that green. Did not bump the saturation.

Processed using Photoshop CS3, NeatImage and LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.
