OHHH!!! So beautiful... the smooth tones here are just jaw-dropping beautiful. And I am always a sucker for deep shadows and black backgrounds. Lovely shot - and perfect use of black and white.

Beautifully controlled tonalities and a sense of pure luminosity that feels very sweet to me. the grace note of the curved tailfeather brings a smile to my face. Good luck :-)
