I have spent a lot of time in the winter at my family's cabin on Elbow Lake in northern Minnesota, and one of the highlights of being there is watching the local ravens, even to the point of feeding them road-killed deer! I wanted to show an intimate view of this pair of ravens as they strut across the frozen lake, all puffed out and displaying to each other. They are shown life-size and at eye-level, almost as if we are another raven on the lake, right there with them. The stark white surroundings, including the snow-covered trees and the cold winter sky, help to give contrast with the black ravens, and make it seem like you could reach out and touch them. This frozen wilderness is their home.
