Description
from The Raven:Much I marveled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning - little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door -
Bird or beast above the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
With such name as `Nevermore.'
~ Edgar Allan Poe

At first glance, I was almost convinced this was a top-notch graphite pencil drawing.The texture is so unique and fabulously toned, I was sure some artist had taken their time with every shade. Having a pet crow and several semi-friendly wild one, I realize the difficulty translating the complex colors and sheen that corvids have. This get's that smack dab perfect, from the broad back feathers to the shaggy neck.
The head angle is a killer, and is the cherry on top. Birds can look particularly silly looking more or less straight at you, or the graceful curve of the beak structure can be lost.
This one gives the neat sense of a smart and witty bird, attention rapt in plotting something.
I find this piece so gratifying and beautiful, especially as and avid corvid lover. A very professionally done piece all around!

Hailing from Philadelphia as I do I have always had a soft spot for Poe. Naturally I had to check this shot out. Very well done indeed.

Well, people have the right to like it or not. I don't mind. I just wanted to do something minimalistic, because I haven't for a while.
