Crow portrait #777

A crow stands on dry, earthy ground scattered with fallen leaves. Its plumage is a contrast of deep black on the head, wings, and tail, with a soft grayish-white covering the breast and underparts. The bird’s posture is alert yet still, as if pausing mid-stride. Behind it, a low concrete curb separates the ground from a patch of green grass, blurred slightly by distance. The lighting is even and natural, suggesting an overcast day. The scene carries a quiet, unassuming presence, with the crow’s dark silhouette standing out against the muted tones of the forest floor. The texture of the ground is rough and organic, with fine strands of dried grass and scattered leaf fragments. The overall mood is calm and grounded, capturing a fleeting moment in a natural setting.
