Corvus corax tingitanus occurs in North Africa and the Canary Islands. It is the smallest subspecies, with the shortest throat hackles and a distinctly oily plumage gloss. Its bill is short but markedly stout, and the culmen is strongly arched. Over time, its plumage fades to dark brown on the head and body.

Hola Victor,
A marvellous capture of a tingitanus ssp of Raven taken from a great POV on the lichen-covered rock. The side-lighting gives a shine to the plumage and the sharpness helps to allow the raven to stand out so well against the OOF natural BG.

Precioso trabajo Victor y me gusta mucho!
Tomo esta foto con mis favoritos.
Un abrazo

Hola,
This is really a nice capture with a perfect exposure with fine details and beautiful natural colors. I like your composition.
Very well done

great portrait, TFS Ori

Impresionante Víctor. Varios aspectos sobresalen con fuerza: las plumas del ave tan bien captadas con la dificultad que conlleva y el elegante juego de colores de toda la toma. Bien encuadrada y buen fondo.
En tu línea pero superándote. Enhorabuena por este singular trabajo.

Saludos: Josep Ignasi.

Fantastic presentation of this subspecies. Sharpness and colours are really perfect. The rock is a great bonus. Excellent POV and composition. Very beautiful OOF BG.

Hello Friend,
This cute dark bird looks a little mischievous :)! Contrast is impressive with excellent exposure which makes us admire very good details on his black plumage. This is very well done! Congrats!

Hola Victor.
Lograste una muy buena imagen de este escurridizo Cuervo. Los colores negro de sus plumas son bien definidos, cosa no facil de lograr en una foto. La pose de 3/4 de perfil en donde se aprecia todo su cuerpo dentro de foco la hace aun mejor todavia.
Felicidades Victor
Saludos a la Familia.

Hi, Vicma.
This is my dream to photograph black bird with so splendid reproduction of its features and colouration. However, it is my future I suppose and you have realized this dream now. Very expressive scene. Shapes of the stone and birds are wonderful and sharpness/details of the main subject are superb. Fantastic reproduction of plumage colouation and sun beam reflections. My congratulation on such extraordinary shot.

Otra preciosa imagen de un ave que creo no habías publicado anteriormente.
Me sonó lo de tingitanus porque la Tingitana era una provincia romana (Marruecos actual más o menos)
Buenos detalles y realmente parece una pintura.
Saludos, JL.

Hi Vicma,
Striking image..Love the orange lichen on the rock I see, great BG.
Very sharp, your excellent exposure of the black plumage has revealed fine details there..
Great colors, POV, and DOF also.
Well done!

Hi Vicma,

Some day maybe I will be able to tell a Raven from a Crow! I knew the face was familiar :-) Your blacks are sooooo good. The mouth, eye and shadings of the feathers are excellent. Fine details of the entire bird. I love the pose, setting and composition.

You present us a very pleasant view of the Corax. The picture is perfect on the technical side and offers us great details of this beautiful bird. I also like the environment in which you have taken the picture very much.

Kind regards

Hello Vicma,
A really splendid capture of a Raven!! Excellent focus and sharp details. I love its pose too and the fine colours of the plumage that stand out against the lovely background.
Many thanks and regards, Ulla

Hello Victor,
I was thinking...all these subspecies are probably looking quite the same in appearance. Then I read your note and yes it looks a bit smaller and the plumage has an oily gloss and stuff...
Finally great background and perch you have there...
TFS the tingitanus...
Annick

Excellent capture.
Beautiful colours with fantastic detail.
Light,focus and definition are splendid.
Good composition.
