  #104 Other People's Art 		Entry 8 of 12
   
 
Raven       ©2011 Mepo
Panasonic DMC-FZ30       8th place, 42 points
1/320s, f5, ISO 80, ?, Aperture Priority, Spot, no flash
 
Post-Processing: Edited levels & saturation selectively. Minor sharpening.       Extra Info: Top portion of a Totem pole from the West Coast of Canada. Ravens have a spiritual connotation in many cultures. With this shot I tried to evoke a reference to Ravens that I found in an anonymous poem:

"I perch upon the Threshold of the Worlds,
both flesh and spirit, . . . "

May 29, 2011		     I like the choice of subject here, but wish you had done a bit more with it to make your own interpretation more front and center.

May 29, 2011		     Jade: Thanks - I wholeheartedly agree. Lots of ideas but no time. I wanted to put him sitting on a globe in dark space but could not get a photo for the background through my ear :-D

This Kwakiutl totem pole, carved by Henry Hunt of the Kwawkewith Indian Band, was given to commemorate the centenary of British Columbia's union with Canada.

May 27, 2011		     This is a good photo. I think what you have is a potentially great image. I would have worked this in PP. THe possibilities are endless.
