Another Raven, but this time a bit more of a portrait shot. This one was from Skomer Island, a few weeks ago. It was fun watching the ravens interacting with the greater black backed gulls, two pretty impressive species of bird!

Cheers,

Dan.

A fine shot Dan,

Like the 'surveying of its territory' feel :toast: :toast:

brilliant feather detail, not keen on the composition though

Good exposure of a black bird.
For me the bird needs to be further to the right and a I would try to lose the 2 bright areas of rock on the left.

I think I'd agree with giving the bird more space on the left - I'd also pull back as well. Good exposure though.
