Ha, I love it! The sense of perspective is brutal. I am not familiar with the bird, so I can't tell if the blue on the bill is real or a colors cast. My bad :(
Congratulations on trying new ideas, the sky particularly looks awesome!
I like the unusual composition. The whites look a bit hot on my monitor.
Wonderful perspective, I like this shot a lot.

Wonderful perspective. The blue on the bill is real.
Gorgeous!! Looks a little over saturated. I would also add a little more sharpening. Excellent work!
Very Refreshing!!
This perspective looks so cool and really makes this shot! The whites also look a bit hot to me and I am not sure but I think there is a very slight cyan/green cast to this shot (but am looking at this with my office monitor). Saturation of the sky looks a bit too much as well. With a little more post processing this could be a killer for sure. Well done!
Great composition. Original. I like the fact that both birds are looking to opposite directions. It looks to me that the photograph have a blusih cast but maybe is just my monitor

I like this comp a LOT! There is a bit of a cast to it. When completely removed, the image looks a little too warm for my tastes, so after removing the cast completely, I decreased the opacity of the levels adjustment layer to 50%. You could go warmer or colder to taste.
Excellent work Jim !!! I have a lot to learn about post-processing.
And thank you for all your comments. I'm glad you like this capture.:)
I like the image very much too. The only thing I would try is straightening up the horizon with about a -1.5° rotation. I haven't tried this and it may ruin the comp. Anyway just a thought.
Hi Thonnaksar - this pair were very obliging for you allowing a very close encounter!!
I like your low perspective here portraying the magpies against an interesting sky. I also like the warmer tones that Jim introduced.
Well seen and taken!!
The wide-angle perspective is wonderful. How on earth did you get so close.....are they just really tame or did you use a remote? It does have a noticeable color cast to it that looks unnatural....in Jim's fix the colors look better. But sure is a cool image!!!!!
