"I am a large, black, evil bird."

Ha, ha, ha, ha, good point!

I am back to the male brewer's black bird. Tail and legs may be too short for a grackle;-)

spooky & thrilling. love the processing. personally, i like the off-center crop. i think the space balances the bird.

WOOOW,,what a shot,,,great great,,,you should read Konrad Lorenz,,he tells us that we cant humanize animals,,,they are different,,,he kept this bird for a whole life,,,called it the most intelligent animal he knows of !!!,,he should know !,,but never mind,,we are human,,,humans,,,;))),,best n

Reminds of something out of an Edgar Allen Poe poem!

 

Moody image! Love it!

Those eyes are looking straight through your camera lens... The composition of this shot is fantastic... The colors are very beautiful and dramatic... The light just adds to the great mood in this shot....

......... this may be "old hat" now.. but I'd put him down as a Glossy Starling. Prevalent throughout the world.

Just a thought.

Evil shot though....... well done.
