This was an on the fly shoot. I was actually photographing some landscape shots when I noticed this crow swoop down and sit right next to me. Unfortunately he was in the shade so I had to increase the exposure which makes the background seem lighter than I wanted it. I got many different shots of him walking around but when looking through them this one stood out to me a lot. I'm not sure what others think because he falls in the middle of the frame and there really isn't anything spectacular about him. But for some reason the look he gives draws my attention. Composition wise i'm looking to see if this is an interesting shot to others. The background that of shaded and highlighted sandstone that naturally appeared with the low aperture, it was not photoshoped.
