Hi Graham,
Interesting photograph. However I'd like to make a small crop suggestion.

Have a look at this. Just cut off the bottom edge removing the dark area of
the barn all to-gether.

In doing this, does it not put more emphasis in isolating the crow and
making it a stronger photo between crow and clouds?

I suppose it comes back to, in the eye of the beholder. I scrolled down to
cut it off and all of a sudden it became a stronger appearing picture. No?

Hi Ted,
I included a little brickwork because the overall feel was a little light 
and soft to me and I thought it would benefit from a little more dark tone 
and a some gritty texture. I was pleased that I was actually thinking about 
stuff like that when I shot it (the LUG effect) but in the final analysis 
I'm ready to accept that it can just as easily detract from the overall 
image :-)

In more general terms I dislike cropping because I spent a lot of money on a 
range of lenses and I get annoyed with myself if I don't frame it correctly 
at the time of pressing the shutter. Thanks for looking and commenting. To 
have someone of your stature take the time is a resource beyond price.
