Excellent and very atmospheric B&W shot. The bird and environment is wonderfully captured. A well balanced picture.

TFS!

Certainly one of the most minimalistic shot's I've seen of this place...Wonderful mood, I love the strong contrast and light and the narrow crop.

TFS

it takes me a few minutes to understand it was a bird ; )
Strange photo maybe because of the huge white frame. The contrast on the b&w is excellent.

Animesh: bit of a sardonic note, but an amazing abstract here. It actually took me some time to resolve the image into the crow. regards, c

I like the scale of grey tones in here and the contrast. You were lucky to capture such a wonderful scene. TSF.
Cheers!

hello Animesh,

Mysterious photography ! I like this one very much. The first thing i thought seeing it was of an American movie, in the desert, something very creepy going to happen ... :) It has a strange, bit of creepy mood ... very special !
greetings, inn

It reminded me the opening scene of the movie Seventh Seal from Ingmar Bergman: A crow flies under the dreadfull cloudy sky and gazes the land which is devastated by the mortal plague.
As if the Black Death approaches from the desolate land, the photo calls the powerfull feelings via the well defined atmosphere and composition.

This is a brilliant panorama. Love the contrast and form.

Hi Animesh,
I was still looking at your gallery, so amazing shots. This one is simply crazy in the presentation, and however, I like it a lot... Could not figure out the image at the beginning... We lost the reference of dimensions with that unusual crop… Is that a little house in the left corner? Again that incredible sky… What a place…and what an image! Totally fascinated.
Andre

Is this a print Animesh? This is an amazing looking shot. The perfectly centered raven works because of the elongated dimensions of the XPAN. So dramatic and very deserving of the term "fine art". Not meant to catagorize, but here this is just beautiful.
