As the Crow flies

Going to the Sun, Glacier Nat. Park

I was taking pictures on the Going to the Sun highway in Glacier Nat. Park and this crow flew by, right at eye level (I'm about 1000 ft. from the valley floor) he turned back and I got this pic.

Thank you for the kind compliments. I was at a pull out, was out of the car and taken a few pictures when the crow flew by the first time. The picture was taken hand held. If you would like to see some of the other pictures I took of this truly beautiful park, visit: www.pbase.com/montana/glacier.

As per Gayle's comments - really like the sky here. Well captured too - how did you get out of the car, setup your tripod, and take several frames to capture this ?! Well captured.

There is something very dramatic about this image. And the silhouetted crow is perfect for the "Flight" theme.
Very well done!
