This is actually the same bird in different exposures, flipped and edited to look like two facing one another. He was sitting on the price sign at a drive through Starbucks. I was hoping to catch him in mid flight as he flew away, but he was so quick that all I got was a shot of the wall. LOL

When I uploaded it, this wacky song Surfin Bird came to mind. :~)

I would have sworn those were black metal cutouts! Nice birds. The grain reminds me a bit of TV snow.

Are those Grackles? They are some of the noisiest critters I have ever heard. This is really cool Judy.

Looks more like graphic art than a photo. Great composition and processing.

Great processing to have the border seamlessly join into the birds feet like that. Looks like something constructed from card. Great work!

Lovely clean silhouettes, and the eyes give them their personalitis. I love your bg too.

I just LOVE the beady eyes, they give the silhouettes much more character than usual! Great arrangement of the birds too, funky edge, everything works so well!!

This is definately "neverymore".. if I ever saw something of that kind. Brilliant work, those eyes do the trick!

Wonderful editing. The silhouettes of the birds (with the nice eyes) are fitting so nice to the borders.

I think it's fantastic! The bird almost looks like a cut-out piece of paper.

Great graphic photo...I like how you got silhouettes with the eyes visible. I was thinking Edgar Allen Poe influenced.

Oooh!! I love this! The bird almost mirrored, but not really and the angle of the beaks going in the same direction - the background and framing is amazing. Fab!!!

"LOL - I couldn't figure out why I hadn't received one single comment. DUH - I forgot to upload it to the thread. :~P"
lol .. you silly billy .. !!!!!
brilliant diptych judy .. and shades of edgar allan poe .. love that poem .. 'the raven' ..
in fact i'm going to teach our budgie to say 'neverymore' .. that's after he's mastered 'who's a pretty boy' .. how cliche is that .?!!. altho, i'll be teaching him 'ahhhhhhhhh me hearties' before the 'nevermore' coz its more obviously humourous .. :)

edit to say ... sheeeeeesh .. i missed out on a letter .. you would have been going .. wottha .. ???!!! ..:)
