I remember this funny ritual we had in school. Every time we saw a single crow or a bunch of them, we'd solemnly touch our heads and say, if there was one bird, "One for sorrow". For a double bill, it was "Two for Joy" and we'd be happy with a threesome:"Three for luck"! Good luck then and have a happy weekend!
Some minor selective colouring on an overexposure. Shot at a bird sanctuary, Ranganathittu, near Mysore in Southern India.

WOW, Sir Shutterbug!! I’ve missed so much here this past week!! Your seascape series has been absolutely first-class. I really like every piece there. And today’s one is just so clever, and thrilling to see. Super duper work, sir! :)

This is a lovely overexposure shot! So you must be feeling very 'lucky' now that you've seen the threesome! Thanks for spreading the joy around!:)

The one bird on the right looks like it's made of glass because of the exposure. Great shot!

Interesting. I have a shot of butterflies that I inadvertently overexposed that yielded a very similar result. I never posted it but have thought about it, perhaps I will. This looks very surreal, I like it.

Beautiful shot!

I love how this turned out...excellant!

Great work! I know the 'ritual'!.. sort of. We use to say 1 for sorrow, 2 for joy, 3 for a letter, 4 for a boy, 5 for a wish, 6 for a kiss, 7 for silver, 8 for gold, 9 for love and 10 for marriage!
