Attempted Murder

Used a personal Backlit Photo with Public domain images. "Goya_le_sabbat_des_sorcières" and the image Two Crows.
Might be the oldest pun title out there but we'd have to ask Paul.

Hey Tim! The panel with the ravens hovering over the fabric is terrific!!! Those crones are a frightening lot, indeed...love that top face blending into the colors of the sky and hills. ~Meg

Takes three to make a crow-d.
Do three crows make a murder?
"One of the oldest puns in the world comes from the book of Judges in the Bible, which was written some 3,000 years ago. The tenth chapter of the book of Judges talks of thirty sons, who “rode around on thirty burros and lived in thirty boroughs.” While these words rhyme in English, they were also very similar in the original Hebrew: ayirim for burro and ‘ayarim for boroughs." ~yourdictionary.com
and
"Lewis Carroll’s Mad Hatter asked how a raven is like a writing desk, and answered with “it is never put with the wrong end in front!”" from the same source.
Poe referenced John Donne's pun about his wife in the line, “Thou hast not done, For I have more” , i.e. Ann More, when Poe's Raven quoth "Nevermore"
Why am I ravin' about puns? Every day is Punday!
Well done pic, Tim. What is tempting the crows?
