Sorrow

One crow sorrow.... Having the dark silhouette against the light is so effective. There's something about sorrow that when fully experienced is quite cathartic, and that's what this photo evokes for me. I know that eventually the sun will come up, the snow will melt, and the bird will find its way home. But the melancholy you've captured is exquisite.

beautiful ondeed. regards.

Sorrow or hope, a real beauty!

I like it too, Linda... warmest regards

Thank you for stopping by and commenting. All the best.

A magical and mystical image with wonderfully subtle color tones in the sky, beautifully rendered bare trees on snow, and an amazingly captured and placed crow (?) in silhouette. Remarkable and impressive capture.

Wow, I'm very impressed. Very Beautiful image. Have a wonderful day

I see this photograph in a new way, for yesterday I had a little "battle" with a hawk that was hunting down one of the chipmunks in my yard. A few weeks ago, a storm felled trees here, leaving things barren and open. The squirrels and other creatures used to run from tree to tree -- but now are vulnerable. With the appearance of the hawk, who was not afraid of me, I have another perspective of this fine pic: that raven has a good chance of finding lunch in that open space. -- Not so romantic, just nature doing its thing. The best art resonates , has "staying power," like this. The snow-- the blue emotional coldness, icy--foreboding, -- not that lovely blanketed layer of fresh snow feeling.... Anyway, excellent work.

I think you must be a very thoughtful person. Thank you for telling me about the life and death struggles in your back yard. Survival of the fittest has no time for kindness, does it? We have a red tailed hawk who lives near us, an amazing hunter and also fearless. I am honored to hear that you think this image has staying power, that is quite a compliment. Warm regards.

Excelente imagen de gran impacto visual, encuadre, luz y color perfectos., saludos cordiales Linda. PN. non seven.

Kelvin used the word that's repeating in my mind in response to this image. Obviously, there are many possible ways to interpret this, and the discussion proves that. This particular discussion has taught me a number of things, including Kamloops, Crow Augury, and yet another consequence of global warming. Such richness and abundance of knowledge has come from an image of a dying forest and an ominous (hopeful for some) bird on the wing. Congratulations on a fine and very stimulating piece of work!

Beautiful colors and light, very well done!

 

 

 

Kelvin, thank you!

 

Julio, thanks for your kind comment.

 

David, thanks! I think it is amazing and wonderful that some people can see hope and light in this dark image. It makes me feel more positive and hopeful.

 

Ellen, thanks you very much.

 

Warm regards to all of you.

 

 

You have done a wonderful job of expression with this image. It speaks Sorrow to me as well. Incredible rendering of life and light with beautifully blended tones. Also I love the way that you have retained the luminisity of the snow without blowing out the highlight or letting it get drab with grayness. Fantastic and thank you for sharing with us. Best to you, Ron Dobbs

Exceptional....beautiful. Thats what I want to be able to do...one day.

Linda, una foto fantastica. Excelente trabajo. Un cordial saludo, Joaquin.

What low-tones! What black bird! What sky and trees!!!

really amazing and rare shoot...

 

To me, photographs are story-tellers. Exceptionally resourceful, luring, crafty, cunning and overwhelmingly attractive story-tellers who by means of light and darkness, sadness and joy, warmth and cold, embrace the viewer with magical sheltering arms. - This is breath-taking. I can almost feel the cold and hear the flapping wings and the wind howling among the slopes around that twilit hill. Thankyou so much for sharing. To me this is very inspiring. Best regards, Mario.
