Very dark image. There is a recognizable bird in there but this doesn't look much like a portrait

Definitely a morbid looking shot. Nice job on achieving that look.

I love the darkness of this. I wish I could figure out what was going on with the bird. The title didn't help. Is Alfred Hitchcock around?!

Comment by Cory:
Is your title asking for no more opinions? Or is that somehow applied to the bird? I should hope you aren't telling other people to keep their opinions to themselves as that is the whole point of this isn't it?

In any case, I really like low-key images, however I'm not a fan of backside shots... Still, pretty nice (hope my opinions aren't the ones you are talking about... If they are PM me, and I'll say things.)

There's a bizarre historical novel called Europe Central featuring several artists, one of whom is Käthe Kollwitz. You should give it a read some time.

Nice showing, but still should've placed higher, IMO.

I love how the highlights pick out a figure from the chaos. The Germanness of the title suggests Abstract Expressionism.

My guess? This is the newspaper announcing the death of Secretariat, moments after it's been burned.

Posthumous Yellow Ribbon for you.

excellent. Looks like a piece of burned paper. Back for more, great imagery. I hope it's getting some love from the voters, although I think the bright sections are too soft for a typical DPC scoring machine.
