Default One for sorrow, two for joy... Magpies.

One for sorrow, two for joy,
Three for a girl, four for a boy,
Five for silver, six for gold,
Seven for a secret never to be told.

Great Capture Jim! I love your Caveat
"SOOC (well except for cropping, a little dodging and burning to bring out their eyes and (c)"
You really nailed the action here. well done, Black and White birds are so hard to get a good picture of, We have Magpies here and I don't think I've taken a keeper yet.
Thanks for sharing this
Michael.

Great action shot. Black and white birds are very hard to capture plus added the speed in which they move, you have done a great job at capturing this shot.

Thanks all.

I think there should be an addition to the Exif dataset for "Time open in Photoshop" and anything under 10 minutes could be legally labled "SOOC"!
