My first thought when seeing this pic was "flames", and then "autumn leaves in the wind" and so I wondered whether I'd like this more in oranges and reds and golds. However, when I put this up to full screen, I got interested in the contrasting metallic and soft textures and found this much more interesting than my earlier concepts...and I could see why you are using the black and white pallette. Loved the little bird in the lower right...is he your signature?
Theirs an Artist (Priyom) who has an image with the same technique you have here "Dead Rabbit" and I also like what you have here. Thanks for sharing -mDs
