Me: "I took my camera to the conservation zoo again."
My friends: wait in anticipation of cool animal photos
Me: "You gotta see this crow I met near the cafe. LOOK AT THOSE GLORIOUS TEXTURES! 馃槏"
I love them.

A crow perched on a fence made of sticks, against a backdrop of green. Their body is facing away, but they're looking over their shoulder at the camera with an inquisitive gaze.

A black-and-silver crow looking over their shoulder in the sunshine, against a backdrop of variegated green. Their overlapped layers of feathers are crisp and beautifully textured, and their head casts a stark shadow across their chest.

A portrait of a black and silver crow facing head-on. Their head is cocked, perceiving me with both eyes with curiosity. Their feathers form shimmering silver patterns down their chest.

A black crow with piercing pale-blue eyes and a silver cowl of feathers across the back of its neck, holding onto a near-vertical black guy rope and leaning out to observe me in the sunshine. The background is a blur of sideways grey panels.
