"Nevermore" • Mojave Desert

I photographed a giant raven flying overhead in the Mojave Desert a couple of weeks ago. When it was coming towards me I thought it might be a hawk or an eagle but the black silhouette against the sky gave it away as I thought I heard it squawk, "Nevermore!"

The black and white version of this bird is even more intimidating!

I photographed the raven with my Canon 5D camera and 70-200 mm lens.

Thank you @juliank for creating @photocontests!

He's on the search for techno beats and flickering lights. You know, because he's RAVEN!

I imagine it was not easy, a rather large and intimidating animal.

That black is stunning! (I was thinking of making a logo for my music label, and one idea was yesterday to make a photo of synth knob or guitar wire and made it to black. Thank you for proving this might work just great as you work :) .... tis, and nothing more ....
