Nevermore (Portrait)
A slight variation to the previous one that I uploaded. I wanted to see how it would look in a normal rectangular format. Unfortunately I had to start over from scratch and redo it but that gave me the opportunity to enhance the textures a bit more. I think I like the composition a little better in this aspect ratio. To recap, this image was salvaged from a shoot I did about 5 years ago when I first started taking pictures, I found it while digging around on the computer and tried to breath some new life into it. Comments are always appreciated.

Thanks for the praise everyone, I appreciate it. Deborah, I looked at your premium gallery and couldn't help noticing this isn't too far off from your shot "Call of the Wild". I looked at all of your galleries and each of you have a lot of talent. Thanks, James

Thank you everyone for the kind praise, I've looked through all of your premium galleries and it never ceases to amaze me how much talen there is here. It's been about 5 years now that I've been entering the contest here and it's nice to finally win, especially with this image since it was my first real try at this effect. James
