 Of the 265 pictures I took at the San Diego Zoo one day, one of my favorites was not an exhibit. I was near a food stand at the time, so I think he landed near me expecting a free lunch.

Post processing included cropping, resizing, sharpening, adjusting levels, desaturating, cloning out a few tiny specks, adding a poorly-executed vignette, and adding a distracting border.

I'm really surprised not to see this in top 10. It's a wonderful picture and deserves much better than this...

Such a shame, this should have ribboned... Excellent exposure and focus. Everyone who gave less than 7 should try this shot to see how hard it is.

It's really good, but for a reason I can't pin down, it's not grabbing me.

What is it about crows - especially crows in black and white? Something always holds me, and this lovely image is no exception, well done :)

Nice tones. Not much for me to offer, I love this. Only distracting element is the background line leading in to beak. 8
