This is an interesting shot to me because we do not have these where I live. They seem very similar to the local "gackle" which is all black, but about the same size and shape. This has to be a very difficult bird to photograph well because of the total black and white in it's feathers.
One of my pet birds was making the sound of a back-up alarm on the local garbage truck this morning.

I don't think locusts come in the quantity "1" by definition ;-) Looks like he's looking back at you to make sure he's not going to be airlifted again!

Flies? I thought you said fries!

Good job; I wouldn't have guessed from glancing at it that you'd done much PP at all! The flies are an interesting touch, in a yucky reality kind of way ;-) Oh, and I see the McDonald's M on the trash bin. I don't think they'd like this much ::giggles::

Very cool! His expression looks intelligent; I have heard they are great mimics (which isn't necessarily the same thing). We have aggressive Northern Mockingbirds here which will divebomb anyone and anything that gets near their nests. Thankfully they're not as big as Magpies!

This one is my favorite! I love the dark blue background with the rusty border, makes a great backdrop for these images. That central one certainly does look like a full Moon shot, WOW! Then I see the ocean on the left and a mountain on the right. What a GREAT combination!

Gorgeous! The addition of the birds is fabulous, adds a lot of interest and motion. I love how the dark line of clouds looks like a horizon line of rolling hills.

well you have votes for the border.... I gotta go against it.. It just doesn't work for me. I think it makes the color a bit garish.

I think I like the one on the right by itself... Maybe its the black that is actually doing it to me. Maybe thin black border w/ white overall background?

Very nice. At first glance it seemed like one is a reversal or "negative" of the other.

Interesting take on the diptych idea.
