This image is certainly worth raven about

Great detail and BG. Excellent.

"Raven about" indeed, where was it taken? Never seen one so close.

Hi,

Often overlooked but a fine portrait... for me I think the 'blacks' could be enriched a bit further without any loss of detail....

Very nice

Hi Alan

Very nice portrait with good detail, but I am not sure about your ID I would say the bill is not heavy enough for Raven and that it is a Carrion Crow!
