While easy to overlook because it is so dark, close inspection shows that this is a very beautiful and well done work. I love the supple treatment of the feathers. The red of the eye and the seeds make for dramatic contrasts to the rest of the piece. It’s like a jewel, small but precious.

I wish this were easier to see. At first, I didn’t realize the amount of beautiful and intricate detail due to the similar values between the background and subject.

This crow has personality. I like the way you need to let your eyes adjust to the darkness before all the detail pops.
