A black crow on a dead tree - landscape, black and white

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.

As well as a colour version of this image, I'm also providing a black and white version to keep options open.
