Click to see large

And yes they were actually sitting there like that and I was lucky to snap one of them looking at each other.

Nice, thats a rare shot. Good photo!

yodasarmpit · 14th Feb 2008, 19:19

Firehed · 14th Feb 2008, 19:27

Whoa! Thanks!

Wasn't even sure I was going to submit it

I've added a link to the image if you want to see it large.

E.E.L. Ambiense · 14th Feb 2008, 20:38

Album cover, right there. Good catch!

teamtd11 · 14th Feb 2008, 21:25

Very nice shot.

Da Dego · 15th Feb 2008, 16:28

That is a fantastic shot! A rare find indeed.

OleJ · 15th Feb 2008, 17:01

Thank you all

I've been very self conscious with the pictures I've been taking lately and have found it hard to see anything in them. It's like I've been wanting the extraordinary from them but I haven't known what it would be. Anyways I thought I'd skip those thoughts and post the above. And from all the positive feedback I'm glad I did

I've got a big bunch of other shots for this months theme but they all feel not quite there... I'll post a "possible potm" and look forward to what you guys have to say.

That's pretty cool, great capture.

I'd clone out those 'smudges' though

OleJ · 17th Feb 2008, 23:09

hehe the smudges are actually 2 sea gulls in the far background. Makes me wish I had shot at slightly higher aperture

Thanks for all the positive comments everybody!

Awww little Corvids

Great shot, bit of artistic license with the title though cos they're Hooded Crows not Ravens
