Black and White is the great dichotomy ever and this image it’s a good example of a perfect B&W, the magnificent symbiosis of the two colours and the great variety of grey shades, they look perfect together.

I like the black background with no details and no light, which permits to fix attention on the main level, which is the bird, and the so many details in the feet and the fluff that enrich the composition.
The way the artist framed the image, not too much centred and slightly deviated to right that gives more depth.

It looks pretty good to me.
What do you think?
