A hooded crow (Corvus cornix) is positioned in the lower-center foreground, standing on the edge of a light-grey rectangular water feature, its head turned directly towards the viewer. The crow clutches a small, dark, irregular object in its right claw. The water feature exhibits ripples on its surface. The scene is an urban pedestrian environment, identified as İstiklal Avenue or its immediate vicinity in Beyoğlu, Istanbul, Turkey. This identification is supported by the visible dome and twin bell towers of the Hagia Triada Greek Orthodox Church in the distant background, slightly right of the frame's center. Behind the crow, slightly to the left, a large vertical billboard displays a cheerful young male figure in a white shirt with red stripes, holding colorful items. Overhead, multiple strands of decorative string lights extend horizontally across the sky, which is partly cloudy with patches of blue. The ground consists of paved light and dark grey rectangular blocks, forming a broad pedestrian walkway. Numerous indistinct human figures are present in the mid-ground and background, walking along the street. To the left, a man in a white and red tracksuit walks away from the camera. Multi-story buildings with light-colored facades line both sides of the street. The lighting indicates daylight conditions.
