Pair of Carrion Crows is a photographic by Zoological Photographic Club, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white photo of two crows perched on a tangled nest of twigs. The branches around them are bare, with a few buds just starting to bloom. The birds look alert, one facing forward while the other sits slightly behind. The photo focuses on small details like the texture of the feathers and the rough bark of the branches. It’s not a painting but a carefully taken picture, likely meant to show nature up close. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
