Murder Of Crows

This is an artwork created from a photo that was taken back in 2011 within the Humanoid sim in SecondLife and was sitting in my "unfinished photos" folder. I finally decided to tackle this photo.

I wanted to focus on the Crows in this emotionally dark photo. It was a much larger photo of the crows flying through the trees over an old church ruins and ceemetary.... but I loved the crows in the trees the most. I had to figure how to add more emphasis to the darkness and ominous nature I saw. I decided to used the blacked out eyes of a masquerade mask I have and photographed a couple years ago.

I feel the shadows of the eyes speak and the crows emot the feeling of darkness and something ominous.

A group of crows is called a "murder" so the artwork title was quite simply : MURDER OF CROWS
