I guess even the common birds deserves to be photographed, don't you think  so?

Even if common (and a noisy pest sometimes) they ARE beautiful.
Exquisite rock, perfect blue, and great BG.
You might try to recover some of the detail in the tail, with a program like Nik's Viveza (free)
Excellent image!

Lovely regal pose and you have brought out the blue sheen on the dark plumage beautifully! A good photo is a good photo whatever the subject - and this is an excellent photo, Jeff!
