Soaring Free - Animal & Insect Photos

Manuela from Hainburg, Germany

Good capture considering how difficult it is to catch crows & ravens on the camera! Like the wing detail showing the end "fringes". The contrast with the pale background does not allow to see much detail but this is part of the difficulties when shooting black animals. On the other hand, it makes a wonderful silhouette. Keep on trying...

I agree with manuela,very hard one done but with ease. It looks like flying Evil.

I like the stark black on white (good negative space ;-)
I would not have put the bird in the center of this composition but that's my anti-subject center bias coming out... some people may not mind!

I love the contrast. It makes me think that the photo belonged to an advertisement or something.

My question is, how on earth did you get the crow into the lightbox?! ;)

Very nice capture! Did you photoshop the background?
