Something a bit different

Had a bit of a play with this, layered onto a black ground. Only my second B&W shot. Comments and tips please

clicky for high res

Antarctican · Feb 22, 2008

I think it looks bloody good!! Especially the high res version. The right eye (camera left) is a bit dark, but it can't be helped and it's sufficiently visible that it's not a distraction. And I like how the dark feathers eventually fade into the background.

Definitely looks good at high res - the smaller version could perhaps stand a little more sharpening though - like the conversion too.

Great shot.

Would work even better if the right eye was illuminated as well as the left to get the intensity of the stare.

Thanks CoA. The small version is a direct link from the high res one but I guess has been auto compressed to fit somewhere
