Description
Although I was hoping to see some lizards, the only wildlife I encountered at Canyonlands were ravens. I saw this one as I rounded a corner & he was nice enough to hang around for a couple of minutes while I took a few pictures. This one, which caught him in mid croak, is my favorite...

Very cool and fun capture

With a nod to a great poem, poet and author ... "Quoth the Raven, 'Nevermore.'" Seems appropriate, canyons, buttes, carved by nature's mighty sculpting tools. He is quite a character and your photo does him proud. Strong sleek, shiny black feathers against the warm, dry, rough textural terrain. Great shot.

A great capture of the moment. In addition to the reflection of red in the feathers, I like the 3 distinct levels of depth of field. Excellent play with focal depth.
