As a light rain had begun to fall and most of the action had subsided, I captured this crow just after it had jumped up with a morsel it had scavenged from the ground below.

Top notch, Chuck. It’s hard to complain about anything. Maybe a touch of room behind the bird but that’s not too big of a deal for me. I really like the falling rain and if I can wish for something, I wish the bird has that wet look on him but that is an almost impossible feat.
Nice picture Charles. Not much to complain about but I think I should prefer a little bit more DOF.
Some clues what kind habitat it is but not sharp ofcourse.
I like this, Chuck. I do agree with Adhika that a touch more room on the right would be nice. Was that perch really this red? It just seems like an odd color for dead wood.
Really excellent shot Chuck!!! I agree with Adhika. I might try to increase the exposure a tad on the face by a contrast adjustment. I am really enjoying the BG color on the larger view.
