The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

I got this moment on a windy cloudy morning. I think they were being friendly, not fighting.

Specific Feedback

I know this is kind’ve a “butt-shot” but does the interest of the windblown feathers make it usable?

Technical Details

Z9, monopod, Nikon 1.4 TC, 3140 x 2421, f 20, 1260mm, ISO 1800, cropped to 3140 x 2421.

Excellent composition, Dave, and I love the disheveled look of the ravens. I think B&W was a good choice for this image.

I’m with Dennis. Wonderful image.

This makes me laugh, like they’re having a conversation about whether it’s safe to fly in this wind. The interaction between the ravens is emphasized by the black and white. Cool shot!

Thanks. I like their interaction too.

PS, I also really like your composition. Simple, with just enough detail to tell the story and really draw the eye to their wind-poofed feathers.
