Master Crow Perched on a Tree

But no fox came to play the part :-)

A little too much cropped and too much contrast. I have to learn to play with Lightroom with more nuances :-)

Superb capture!

A really nice look at the crow with its shiny feathers.

Great shot, he appears so slick and shiny

Lovely shot and textures. It really looks like an eye on its beak.

Magnificent looking bird

I like it with its slightly stylised look - the tiny lit border around the crow really makes him stand out.

[Carole Sandford]

I quite like it!

@robz That's what I think is the result of too much contrasts :-)

[KV]

Great shot. You wrote that you don't really like the editing of this shot. That's why I'm sorry, but I have this comment, I think it will be helpful. Better less than too much. I think you isolated the bird in masks and edited this part too much. This gave the effect of a white border. In the articles and videos I learn from, they especially warn against overusing sliders "contrast" and "clarity".
Recently I read about a rather interesting method. When processing the entire surface, move "Clarity" slightly to the minus side, and only brush particularly important areas to "Clarity" with a large plus.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot

[Dave]

Nice shot. I think the cropping is fine. Try in b&w. It's more forgiving of the higher contrast.

[Steve Chappell]

Great capture
