The pop of red amongst the dark black crown of feathers on this Eagle brings out the richness of the animals eyes. The exposure of the dark feathers is spot on, sometimes challenging with black animals, and the creamy green background is a perfect balance to prevent the subject from getting lost. It is a beautiful portrait!

**This contest is open to photographers ranked between 251 and 1000 in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** The blackness of animals seem to provoke particularly strong associations - the elegance, mystery, and power of a black panther, the cunning and regality of a raven, or the association between the dark arts and domesticated black cats. Images submitted to this contest can show wild, domestic, or captive animals.
