Captured this crow this morning cleaning up the suet that Mr. Hairy Woodpecker threw down onto the ground, he definitely was a messy eater. So this fellow is having a good snack picking all the droppings.

Thought I'd have this put into the B/W Challenge. Anyway I used Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 to bring out more detail, then enhanced the colour. After that I used a new plugin for Adobe called: Nik Collection filter called Silver Efex Pro 2. This is the results I go, I thought it was really cool. Last I used iPiccy.com to downsize it.

Hope you like the final results and please let me know what you think.

Thank You in Advance for you Comments and Time. Have a great day

The Nik collection is really good Skates. You made a beauty out of the bird. Stunning color.

Nice and sharp shot of this jackdaw (crow family) with very good clarity and color Pat. If he has come once he'll be there again!

This crow appears be jumping out of my monitor, ready to do a Hitchcock scene on my eyes. Well done, Pat.
