hello bottom 10% neighbor! not familiar with the poem but it does seem quite fitting for the photo. so dark and spooky - it makes you wonder what is happening in the shadows.

There is great pleasure to figuring out what this is. I give this my personal red ribbon.

Comment by Teafran:
A sound and solid entry into the challenge a conceptual standpoint, this is technically a flawed image with the flat background and shooting into the light which creates too much of a contrast dynamic. The image it could do with a little more contrast to really make it pop and give it some wow factor which would have been accomplished by taking a different angle or waiting for a little better lighting situation. Another choice would have been to use a fill flash to increase the details in the darker areas. Having said that, from the standpoint of the challenge subject, it is very effective, but not overly artistic again lacking pop and wow factor. It is a good illustration of a candid moment though. A solid entry into the challenge.

super concept; gradient adj layer to bring out the sky would help, but b&w might even be better.

Provocative imagery here using the black crow/raven like bird to evoke a sense of death - well done.

Reminds me of Salvador Dali, very surreal but effective. 7
