Yeah, that's the idea, or maybe Poe's raven. I only got part of the bird partly because he was not very cooperative about sitting still, and I wanted to use one in-focus : )

I'm not too fond of the crop. There might be too much in frame which draws attention that is out of focus which is hard on my eyes.

Interesting idea, but it doesn't completely work. Maybe see the whole bird? Have the antenna fill more of the frame? Keep it away from the bird? I do like the focus and the black vs blue.

Liked the framing and pose of the bird. Found the background distracting

Bumping this up to 9 - I really like this shot, an 'ordinary' bird, shot creatively, well done.

A fun shot! I think I would have enjoyed it more if the whole bird were in the picture. 5

Didn't like the composition, sorry.

Not bad at all but the backround is a bit distracting at best and since the bird is completely black the backround draws more attention than the bird itself, at least in my opinion.

Cool perspective!

I like the perspective. He shows up well against the blue sky. I like the light hitting the top of his beak. Nice!
