looks v dark on my monitor, good attempt at something unusual, not my cup of tea though

I actually can't see anything bar two white bits, but then again, my monitor tends not to be too good on shadows..but not usually quite this bad. What is it Steve?

Looks like one of those 'Day for Night' shots from a Hammer film, I take it this crow is off to perch on some mouldering gibbet in order to survey the latest administrations of the Witch-finder General :biggrin:

Agree with AB Stevo - too dark for me, I scare easy :wink:

I have an Apple Macintosch screen wich are allways a tad lighter then the PC screens and therefor i am able to see what this is... :wink:
And ... i like it! It's a bit spooky and very differentt but therefor i like this shot a lot.
Would have liked to see it a bit bigger as it is presented fairly small.

Well done thinking outside of the box!


Greetings,

Jeroen Stel

I agree with Jeroen on this one. I can see it clearly enough on my PC & AG Neovo screen ok. It could be a whisker lighter I suppose, but only a whisker or else the effect would be lost. Blue sky thinking outside the box going forward. Can't beat it.

I can also see what it is, and I like it as well. Nice attempt!
