Awesome details in the black, Herman!
The bg is not exactly clean but is okay with me ... :roll:

Nice one. That's one huge bill. Where was this taken?

This is an excellent photo of a Rook. The detail in the blacks is wonderful. I like low angle too. The BG would be better if you did a smart blur on it in PS.

No knowing this to be a rook I would have thought a kind of Raven -- cool.

Herman,

I'd be pretty happy with this one, and the BG isn't bad.
