About I thought it would give me the evil eye, but when I looked in the image I saw just a mocking glint in that black round beady eye! It was a beautiful bird, young, with black-blue shining feathers. Even so, I heard a murmur of "nevermore...." as I was turning to go.

Excellent wildlife capture! Nicely focused bird, lovely lighting and beautiful autumn colors in the background!

Very nice shot, I like the contrast in colours with the bird and the beautiful background. You're exposure is very good providing excellent detail on the black bird without blowing out the background. Well done.

A signe... This is a really nice capture Gabriela.. I like the details and the light as well as something in its eye even if it not face you..
Beautifully composed with these colours in the background that contrast with the black-blue colors of its body.
Perfect.
Cheers

Excellent capture, Gabriela! Very good exposure and focus, especially the black feathers, and that fall colour background is perfect!
Dave.

There is no evil and no good eye in nature Gabrielač! There is only necessity, even if some romantic thoughts wouldn't allow you to really see. A raven doesn not care a damn if you think of it as "evil" or as "good". Get it!

Now on to the more real existing things, like for example the photo itself, which is really a very very good work, as the black of the bird meets so strongly the red of the leaves. The very strong details add a further touch of reality, far away from your mysterious "evil" and "good" which never existed. It is this whys the image is good, and not your fantasies.

It could have been even greater if that %&ē£-raven would turn a bit more toward your camera, but I know that they never cared about being photogenic too. ;-)

Very good work, keep it up!

Nick

Haha...Gorgeous capture of this beautiful bird against the flaming reds of fall, dear Gabriela!

7!
Exceptionala imagine! Poate coltul negru sa afecteze un pic compozitia , dar ramane totusi exceptionala.
Lumina si culorile fac toti bani aici!

Best regards,
Vandi
