Media notes
Immature. Remarks: Shimmering, glimmering, dazzling; the lustre on this Common Raven was absolutely blinding when seen through the viewfinder in the harsh afternoon sun. This large bird, about the size of a Black Kite had the countenance of a bored kid at a grown-ups' party; fidgeting, walking around and dozing very unlike other Corvus who usually seem to have an 'agenda'. All images lose detail when reduced to web size but a very painful reminder in this image, as all iridescence represented on a black bird gets fitted into the palette of a jpeg. - RS. Date added to OBI: September 01, 2011. Original OBI location name: Tso Kar, Ladakh, India.
