Carrion Crow at pool.
Probably hated as much as magpies but certainly take a bit of photographing.! You usually get one chance.

80% of frame.
Thanks for looking and comments on last pic

A great pose, John. I love the head turn and rather arrogant look. On my monitor the bird seems a bit too bright-a bit more gray than black, always a tough call with the crow family.

Heres a darker version Dennis.
Still not the right Crow colour but its different !! They sometimes look quite blue in the right light !
Cheers

They are tough, John, but I do like the second version better. Well done.

The richness of the black color in the second image is improved. The bird stands out much better in the repost. The detail is considerably better.
