• The bkgd is so beautiful, IMHO I would eliminate the FG distraction. - Steve Corey, O.O.T.
  • Steve, Always feel free to critique/suggest. Love it.....gives me new eyes! If it were all about the Raven for me, your crop is perfect! Naturalist that I am, I often like to create a sense of place so dry brush FG and rooted pole help do that. How about this crop so eyes go right to the raven?

Carrizo Plain Raven '10

Ravens are among the smartest of all birds, gaining a reputation for solving ever more complicated problems invented by ever more creative scientists. These big, sooty birds thrive among humans and in the back of beyond, stretching across the sky on easy, flowing wingbeats and filling the empty spaces with an echoing croak. www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Common_Raven/id

    Love the raven silhouette with this gorgeous background. You can really see what it looks like on the Carrizo Plain.

    Lovely - I really like that blur of color in the background setting off the silhouette of the bird.

    Teddy, this is one I'd hate to have missed seeing because you were not a contact. I love the colors and the early/late in the day feeling it engenders.
