Photo: The Crow Has Taken Off

There are some photos that depend purely on split-second reflexes and luck. Every once in a while the dice come up in my favor and I press the big silver button just at the right moment--like yesterday. While wandering around Richmond and waiting for the crows to do something photogenic and entertaining, I snapped this shot of one of them an instant after taking flight. It's one of those things that we see all the time but yet never see; some motions are just too fast for the brain to process.
