You're right Sandy, that is a good looking crow. The whites and blacks both look great. Nice perch, bg and the calling pose adds a lot for me.

Beautiful! I wish our crows looked this good. Excellent control on both the whites and blacks.

I like the open beak in this one Sandy. You're right, the crows do look beautiful.

He is a beauty. Great calling pose you have here Sandy! I like the multi-toned background too.

This was our common crow in Zimbabwe, they have a very different call to our crows and ravens here. Good detail in the blacks and whites Sandy
