A raven looking straight into the camera. Due to the lighting, its feathers appear to have a blueish hue. The feathers are well detailed showing the different shales and textures. In its eye you can see the horizon reflected.

A close-up of the previous raven picture, focussing on the details of the feathers. The colours show different shades of midnight blue. The top half of the picture has feathers that are pointing downwards, whereas the bottom half has more rounded, overlapping feathers, showing the difference between neck & wing feathers, respectively
