Too bad about the crow, John! At least you tried to keep it going, and got a good shot of him.

Nice macro John and at the end nice portrait ;). just one regret, the yellow blurry of petal on the left foreground that attracts too much the eye.
Anwyay, this is a nice shot and reading you're about, I understand why he was not affraid.
Take care my friend.

Beautiful shot of this crow John, the flowers around it make a nice memorial shot for him, nature can be sad.

thanks Shadi...

I took that shot from a distance of about 2 meters... the bird was not in good health... and it only moves the head... it was at my backyard and I try to give some food, however after some time it was dead... it was something very bad for me...

first time I have seen a crow with gray feathers.. Ueah it look sick alright.. or you couldn't get near it, they are very intelligent birds. you have a very funny title, you're really full of humor John.. An extra ordinary capture, like a chicken on the ground.
very interesting shot my friend..
regards..

Nice macro with good focus dear John !
