A crow / raven is one of the most un-photographic birds out there yet I like this one

Ominous and foreboding, Dave. I dig the minimalist look.

Nice silhouette Dave.
Thanks Susan it was not meant to be , however the metering was on the clouds so it turned out that way.

It seems like when I take photos of ravens they always turn out to be silhouettes Dave. I think Poe would like this photo.

Indeed Bob tough to get the proper exposure it was not meant to be a silhouette just turned out the way with the metering.

Very nice evocative image Dave. I enjoy Crow shots and wish I could get close enough to get a good one. But, soaring like this is simply lovely. Nice composition.
