Not Just a Crow!

I caught this crow in flight after it picked up a piece of lettuce, which you can see in its beak. I thought its wingspan was just gorgeous.

What a great catch! And the background is beautiful as well; nice green color and the shape of the water ripples comes back in the shape of the feathers. Top Job!
