Cool interaction between species! Nice job getting both the black and white birds to have some detail. I'd crop some off the top. This is a funny shot. :lol:

What would they be talking about? :)

Interesting picture!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Would like to crop off the top a bit, though.

Thank you for sharing.

Wow, what great interaction you've captured between these two. I hope for the crow's sake, he didn't get much closer or press his argument too far. :wink:

Very cool shot. This really made me smile. Great job on exposure. I agree it is stronger with a crop from the top. Congrats on a very unique and successful image.

I think he's singing "Ebony and Irovy" to her :D

Awesome shot Ken. I'd take some off the top.

Great catch. I like the interaction here. Did the Snowy have a tasty morsel that the crow was trying to get leftovers?

Yet another amazing shot of your Crow, Snowy Owl interaction theme.
Both of them are excellent, however, I might like the current one better.
