Posing Jackdaw

[u8myufo]

No matter how hard I stamped my feet to get him to fly, he just insisted on staying where he was Oh well the flying Jackdaw shot will have to wait.
C&C welcome.

I love the image but why does it look as if you have silver plated his legs? Surely they are not usually that colour - or is it just my monitor?.

looks arsefirst to me as well , the one i have seen round here is black with a grey/silver head

 

[lammie]

Looks OK to me, they are a dark grey bird with light grey around the neck and a dark cap.
Nice shot as well.

 

[erding]

nice detail and tones in the capture rich.

Not your monitor Ken, I think its just the way the light is shining across the skin of the legs and giving it that effect :|

Cheers Tom, first time actually I have taken a shot of one. As he was happy to sit, I just ran off a few shots and tried various settings on the way.

nice shot Rich think it must be the way the light is shining on him

 

[u8myufo]

Six of one and half a dozen of the other Kaz, I could adjust him down a bit I suppose but was trying to get as much detail out as possible. If I took a pace to the left or right he seemed to look different each time

Great shot and wonderfull detail!

Black is NEVER black........its made up of many different greys and you have got really great detail in this....mind you it's a bit greenish on the back.

Woah, would love to know what the Jackdaws are feeding on in your neck of the woods, never seen one like that before. Smashing shot, captured loads of tones in the black/grey there.

Bird may be a juvenille not yet into adult plumage - good shot.
