Preening

Preening (Corvus corone)

This Carrion Crow sat for a few minutes preening, so continuous mode allowed me to get several poses (one of which is set for an upcoming SF entry LOL)

I've had to lighten the image somewhat to get some detail underneath, but not too pleased with the result, just doesn't look that natural somehow.

A nice behavioural shot Delia. 100 ISO is rather low, perhaps upping it would help. then run through neat Image after.

You managed the lighting quite nicely D. The lighting appears that it was very difficult and then to have a black bird....you did great!!!

I agree with Kim. A bit higher ISO would help immensely. Still a beautifully detailed preening shot girl.

Not easy against a light sky and dark bird Delia. a well timed behavioural shot, well done.
