Hi Steven
All Raven would be proud of this photograph. The gray tree, clouds, wind and head turn create a seen that Hitchcock would be proud of. My only very small nit this the camera angle.

Welcome to NPN and the Avian Forum, Steven. This is a really cool image. I love the wind blown plumage and that dead tree makes a very appropriate perch for the raven. I also like the way the subtle iridescent colors of the plumage come through. The head turn is just a touch further than I would prefer, but that’s always a matter of taste. A fine image.
Again, welcome, and I look forward to seeing a lot more of your work and seeing your comments on other folks efforts.
Hi and welcome to a great forum, where you’ll be able to learn and grow in many ways.
This is a very cool image, and the B&W is perfect for this subject. The raven’s pose is really nice, and the trees are cropped very appropriately. Looking forward to more great images, as well as your participation in the critiques and discussions.
