Photographer’s Note

NEVER MORE

"Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door -
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door -
Perched, and sat, and nothing more...

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!"

Edgar Allan Poe The Raven

Hello Jacques,
A bit scary but beautiful as a photo, especially in black and white and this dark mood...
Greetings,

Dobro vece, danas je kod nas bio lep jesenji suncan dan sa vetrom.
Dobra crno-bela fotografija koja je dobrim tonovima pokazala ovog gavrana.
Svidja mi se nebo.
Prijatno vece, Paja.

This is brilliant, and the Poe reference is wonderful. Very poignant image, and the heavy cloud tones add to the atmosphere.

- Amusante image Jacques, pourtant ta note créée une autre ambiance en tout cas, je trouve marrante l'idée, le bestiau me rappelle un choucas du côté de chez toi La preuve ! Bravo !
Bonne fin de week-end.

Hi Jacques,
Wonderfullk work !
I like the graphism of this nice b&w shot and the title; and of course Poe's "Never More" which perfectly fits to the scenery.
TFS and have a nice weekend
Best regards

Hello Jacques,
Just Wonderful.
Quelle bonne inspiration visuelle et textuelle.
Le noir et blanc est plus que mieux choisi. Il colle au sujet. Superbe.

Bonjour Jacques,
Un petit côté Hitchcock bien flippant ... Ambiance très noire grâce à l'utilisation du noir et blanc, cette ombre inquiétante du corbeau et ce ciel menaçant. Bien joué !
Amicalement,
Olivier

Cher Jacques,
great literature and excellent photography. The sharpness of the silhouette of the bird complements very good with the grey clouds. Very well done, TFS
amicalement

c'est sombre, une photo Hitchcockienne qui fait peur un peu comme une des miennes (ici)

salut jacques
une photo pas du tout dans ton style, une image un poil lugubre avec ce corbeau, cette photo pourrai accompagné une lettre de dénonciation......
amitiés

The spark in his eye!
A demonic vision of a frightening bird. He looks so powerful. Artistic photo! I love it!

Hello Jacques,

A sinister atmosphere is captured, as the silhouetted bird stands out on the dramatic cloud background!
The raven is very similar to the crows around my place, with the powerful beak and short tail...
A fine composition and an eye-catching image!
