Currawong Gothica by Larry Davis
This is one of my best eye to eye images I think.
.
It’s a Tasmanian Currawong taken on my last trip to Cradle Mountain. ( not a crow and not a raven )
With this intense stare, I thought it good enough to give it a whirl.
I also think that it is very Gothic, as it is kept simple and to the point, and the stare gets into your soul.
Whenever I look at it, I seem to get shivers up the back of my neck….
Taken with a p&s Panasonic Lumix FZ30.

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven, of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door.
Perched upon a bust of Pallas, just above my chamber door,
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.
Edgar Allen Poe – He’d have loved this.
I love this….
I am going to save it…..

Wonderful Larry. You have captured the mood. Dark and Sinister.
That’s what I wanted to hear…

Lovely shot, really captures a nice mood. like this one better than the Original!
Thanks Sam….
I was putting more of myself into it this time around.
When I took the original, I wasn’t as prolific with manipulation as I am today.
I feel more confident now.
