Kayaker

I was waiting patiently for this fellow to push off from the dock so I could get my picture. When he finally did and I snapped the shutter this big old crow photobombed the image. I thought of cloning him out but left him in because I decided he adds to the overall look of the shot.

I am glad that you held back from cloning out the crow, he/she does indeed add to your composition. I definitely like overall tone. Fav.

the crow is great adding some intrigue and movement

He seems to be chasing the kayaker, lovely shot and scene.

You can't clone a crow - its forbidden - by the crow! But this is just beautiful! fav

[moni kozi]

This is really an interesting and captivating composition.

Solitude. Love how lots happens in the photo, but it still oozes serenity...

[Mags]

Lovely and peaceful. I like your border too.

reminds me of seagulls following fishing boats in case of a hopeful free lunch!

I agree, the crow adds a nice touch to this one.

I'm glad you kept the crow. Looks rather as though he is saying "...and stay out!!" Great shot.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Beautiful B&W candid capture.

[Korcsog Károly]

I think it was a good decision too!

[Kathy]

A huge bird! I like the low key look of this making the kayaker and birds into silhouettes.

[Maggie]

Great shot

[Shutterbug]

Definitely think the crow works here. Love the strong contrasts and light in this B&W.
