As you can see in my landscape posts, my visit to Grand Canyon West was in harsh light. Combined with the dark shadows produced by that light, the attached set took some post processing to bring out the detail.
These birds are all over and the tourists are not discouraged from feeding them. They are used to people and can be approached. The last shot is of the airport watch birds.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Wow! You handled the blacks very well in the sharp, bright background light! Ravens are beautiful, interesting, intelligent birds that are fun to watch and photograph! Thanx for sharing.
