Common Raven with breakfast

This Common Raven had stolen some other bird's egg and stored it in a crevice in a palm tree. I had just a second to snap this as he retrieved it and gulped it down.

Olympus E-M5 II, M.Zuiko 40-150mm F4.0-5.6 R (aka "Plastic Fantastic"), F5.4 @ 125mm, 1/3200 sec, ISO 800, 8.5% crop. I had just been shooting fast-moving birds so my shutter speed was pretty fast, which unfortunately caused this raven in the shade to appear nearly totally black in RAW format. I enhanced it with Adobe's Super Resolution, then was able to pull up the shadows quite a bit. Heavy sharpening and noise reduction mostly rescued this image.

Oops. Is there a way to move it?

It's a photo and I'm seeing it in the Photo Gallery which begs the question...did you originally post it somewhere else?

If you did, the Administrator moved it.

I reprocessed it with a trial copy of Luminar 4. Lots more detail... not too noisy.
