excellent dark edit for this shot of your Grackle. Your processing is very good, allowing us to see the varied greys amongst it's plumage. We have a lot around our home and they are very vocal additions to the sounds of the neighborhood :)

Black and white is not easy. This is a great picture with wonderful contrast. You do not lose the bird with the background. Great one for Negative Space Contest.

I'm in love with this photo. It reminds me of the poem by Edgar Allen Poe, The Raven. Dark and mysterious...
