A sound idea for an entry. The raven (or jackdaw?) doesn't stand out very well from the background, and the image as a whole does look a touch under-exposed.

Great shot! I really like that the tombstone looks so worn. Great contrast between life and death.

Makes me think of Hitchcock movies. I see death represented, the bird however doesn't make me think life.

Maybe a little more contrast would've helped this photo, also I see a little too much nose in the photo. The composition and subjects are great, I hope you paid the model a pretty penny!
