"A crow left of the murder." by jgoldrup

"A crow left of the murder."

Urban dictionary: Thinking on one's own; the one that doesn't fly with the flock; you are living your life for yourself instead of just following society.

At the Little Dutch Church, the oldest Lutheran church in Canada (1750s). I will have to return for more shots on a day that isn't so cold/rainy/drizzley.

Edits galore: All the same crow. Added left and right image from other shots taken while crow took off and flew away from me. Added 'ghost stories' action (adrenaline) on top of merged image in Photoshop. Then brought into picnik to add rounded corners (yes, I know I should be able to do this in Photoshop). Couldn't help myself and added a Cinemascape effect to it all at the end.
Very cool photo... love the processing!

@lisalevez ~ Thanks Lisa. I excused myself b/c I hadn't taken the photo on that day - didn't think that was very fair.

So foreboding and dark and mysterious. The composition and perspective along with the processing fit the mood of the photo perfectly!
