Perhaps a battle of wills, as legend has it that if you look into the eyes of a raven for too long, it will steal your soul...

That's really nice, I love the lighting in it :)
The man seems to be the winner though, it looks like the raven is looking away ;)

Quite an intriguing piece. Love the monochrome look to this piece. The hands an dthe fingers look quite delicate and well done. I can see a reflection of expressions between the raven and the man, yes truly a battle of wills. I love how you've maintained a painterly texture to the piece. And the texture of the walls gives the background an interesting feel.
