A raven’s portrait
Stopping at a viewpoint along the Icefields Parkway on Sunday to photograph a pair of friendly ravens during the second day of John Marriott’s Jasper Fall Wildlife Workshop. This raven lived up to advance billing and was a pleasure to photograph. This portrait was one of my favourite images from a wonderful wintry day that saw us photographing mountain goats, bighorn sheep rams and bull elks in Jasper National Park.
Beautiful composition. It reminds me of First Nations artwork. You conveyed the spirit of the subject with great effectiveness.

I have always looked at the raven with disdain and just ignored taking photos. However, this image surprised me. Nicely done.

Hi Lyle,
Thanks for commenting. Ravens are one of my favourite animals, I’m glad to hear you may give them a second look now. There is much beauty to be found when photographing these birds.
Cheers,
Chris
