Riddle of the Crow

Comments?

I like this black and white. It almost looks like an abstract and because of this, has me constantly examining it. Nice eye on this one.

Thanks Kevin. I took this shot two days ago as a possible book illustration. For the book, however, I might have to go to a high contrast, which is a different effect entirely.

Did not notice the corvid at first... I was struck by the untidiness of nature against the clean lines of those Bauhaus inspired boxes people assemble to work in.

 

 

I like the original because of its soft complexity. You really lose a lot with the high contrast. It is too bad the publisher can't use that one, but I'm sure you know how it is. Again, great exposure.

Peter, I really like this image! There's a lot going on but not so much that the eye can't wander freely to discover the subtle surpises. The graphic, static, and organic qualities are combined nicely. I think I might prefer a version in between the original and the high contrast version. Perhaps just a hint more contrast in the original.

I think the original is just fine. Higher contrast would just kill it.

I like the title, for then the photo appeals to me, not so sure if it would on its own. I like the contrast, as an example, here.

I love the high contrast version...but then I do tend to go for extremes in images...

Question: Why did the crow fly onto that branch at that very moment in time?

 

Answer: To be in the picture.

Excellent. The high contrast image is superb. A beautiful and mysterious image. And as an aficionado of appropriate titles, let me say this one is perfect.

thumbs up on both pic & title !
