Feathers.

I nearly deleted this shot as it was too dark (forgot to change the setting) but thought I'd hang on to it till I uploaded it. I played around contrast and brightness and I'm really pleased with the result, even though it's still a bit dark around the talons.
It makes me wish I hadn't deleted the other two dark images, I won't be doing that again, you never know what might be lurking in the darkness!
