A Raven at Moonset

Please give me your impressions - likes, dislikes, suggestions...and a poem or appropriate quote to accompany, should the mood strike 
In reality, there was a smaller bird on top of the pole, facing the opposite direction. Feedback on another forum suggested the change. Much of the background texture is just the result of noise from high ISO in near-dark conditions. The plants are the tops of commercial fruit trees.
Many thanks for your time!

Linda, I am going to cheat and ask you why, in such an etherial photo, you chose to leave the utility wiring? Not any criticism, just attempting to learn.

Very effective. Sometimes manipulations are overwhelming and out of sync--these fit together well.

Great question, Mike, thank you for asking! For me the shapes were an interesting contrast to the rest of the mood, unexpected - maybe it's a yin and yang kind of thing Linda, I am going to cheat and ask you why, in such an etherial photo, you chose to leave the utility wiring?

From your question, I can now imagine possibilities of another version heading further into fanciful, and I appreciate that nudge!

I really like the noise/texturing in this. Makes the image even more interesting! The wire scramble also adds to this image, balancing the starker silhouette of the pole and bird. Nice work, Linda!

Linda whoever made the suggest about the bird works for me. Glad you left the wire in the photo. Forced me to follow it to the bird. Than you work you say down to the moon and to the rest of the short. In this case the texture works well. Nice going. Sorry no poems here.

One quote that was suggested to me was "My soul is in the sky." But I just looked it up (Wm. Shakespeare, "A Midsummer Night's Dream") and the context is far different from what the one sentence says to me:
Ay, that left pap
Where heart doth hop. (stabs himself)
Thus die I, thus, thus, thus.
Now am I dead.
Now am I fled.
My soul is in the sky.
Tongue, lose thy light.
Moon, take thy flight.

That's one way to put it, lol. Because we moved from Maine to Florida to California when I was in high school, I actually had to study "Julius Caesar" two consecutive years. Torture!Will he always had a way with words.☺

I really like it. It has such a rich texture almost like suede. I'm just not sure of the wire jumble. I like that something's there but I think it's the jumble that bothers me. Its seems out of place but I feel more comfortable with order so it could just be me.
