A black crow on a dead tree - square, colour

I thought there was something quite poignant about the sight of this black crow with ruffled feathers, sitting on the branch of a dead alder tree against the backdrop of some moody looking clouds.

I've produced a square format version of this image because something in my head is telling me that this could be used as the cover for a CD.

I've retained this colour version of the image because there's something about the subtle colouring of the sky and clouds that will appeal to people.
