This is mostly a testament to the crows on Southampton common, that flee as soon as you turn a camera on them, no matter how close they come in search of scraps of food. The buggers. This fellow is not a crow; he is a rook that I met at Stonehenge, who had the great advantage of staying still for a few minutes (whilst singing me a song of sorts; while technically lacking, no one has taken the trouble to sing to me before, so I appreciated his squawks none the less).
Anyway, you will notice this picture is unfinished- this is because at the moment, my spare time is fleeting. My little munchkin is keeping me busy, indeed. Happy Friday.

Ohh,
you have a bird to .. And a great one too. I lloooveee it :)
wonderfully done, very expressive!
This is gorgeous. It doesn't look unfinished to me - just spontaneous and full of elegant simplicity.
This is really beautiful. Love it.
This is a lovely loose and expressive image.
soo lovely!
I love this, and I agree with Beatrice, it doesn't look unfinished. I really love the colors.
I think the blots read as shadows, which give the bird a somewhat portentous air...appropriate for the kind of bird.
Lovely, freely expressive image!
I loved the mottled effect that shows even an apparently solid-black bird is not that color, on closer examination.
You say this is not finished, yet I absolutely LOVE the execution of it. So, I deem it finished and wonderful in my world ;)
How gorgeous! I love the elegant composition and all of the tones in the bird.
fabulous!! love it love it.
