The exposure on this guy looks very good. I always have trouble with Ravens. Most of my shots of these guys from Yellowstone are not very good. The background is a little bland, but it is a handsome raven. Well done.

Thanks both. I was just about to delete it and put something else on !!!

Yes the background is a shame. Even the grass looked miserable! Perhaps I could cut itout and find some nice mountains

Thanks again
John
