A black crow on a dead tree - landscape, colour

I thought there was something quite poignant about the sight of this black crow with ruffled feathers, sitting on the branch of a dead alder tree against the backdrop of some moody looking clouds.

I've retained this colour version of the image because there's something about the subtle colouring of the sky and clouds that will appeal to people.
