Take these broken wings and learn to fly

Blackbird fly..."

The bird didn't hear the song...
And it stayed there, maybe waiting to be photographed!

Vira,this is a really neat image!
Love the spotlight and how it draws the viewers attention inward! Nice descript as well

A nice effect drawing our attention to the raven by placing it in the spotlight (of fame). :)
As a complement to a "Beatles moment" I'm going to apply an "Edgar Allan Poe's moment" to this photo. Sorry to all english speakers, but I chose to use the translation that Fernando Pessoa (one of the greatest portuguese poets) made of "The Raven":

"Abri então a vidraça, e eis que, com muita negaça,
Entrou grave e nobre um Corvo dos bons tempos ancestrais.
Não fez nenhum cumprimento, não parou nenhum momento,
Mas com ar sereno e lento pousou sobre os meus umbrais,
Num alvo busto de Atena que há sobre os meus umbrais.
Foi, pousou, e nada mais" #5091216
