I can see this maybe being silhouettes, but "dark surrealism?"...nah.
(Try to figure out which layer should be blurred most).

Really reminds me of The Nightmare Before Xmas or the Corpse Bride.. wonderful imagination and creations

Very original and unusual ... interesting and surreal image!

Would look nicer if the sky and moon had color. Great blend, though!

Light source on raven is opposite light on moon. Just flip one.

nice idea -- moon's edge is a bit ragged and the rock's edge is a bit sharp -- maybe a bit of blur to each

Very nice work with cool mood author,but i don't see this image as surrealism...good luck

The entry is called raven, but I keep starring at the moon, is so big and bright it eliminates the foreground.
I know it's late, but you know what would make this surrealism ?

No rock in FG and placing the raven ON the moon

Nice

very very cool work author...i like the glowing effects...best of luck

Great message!

nice thing...best of luck

its cool

GL!

Author, I like your concept, but somehow it needs another dimension. Pasting a bird pic onto a background is hardly surrealism, but it is a dramatic visual statement. Take it a step further.

I dont know what it is about this one, but it sent chills down my spine, i love it!!!

Did you try to make that motion blur, like it's taking off? Back then, when they were making photos looking like this 18-19 hundreds you had to stay still for half an hour or so

It's a dead bird...he would have no trouble staying still.

Like the statement this makes.
