I find Ravens difficult to photograph.They seem to be very nervous.

They are however in their defense a good alarm for approaching raptors !!

Did these ravens have a purplish tint to them or is that actually purple fringing? I'm more or less referring to the two on the right side of picture, the head and neck regions...

I don't know what caused the purple.Maybe they are like wild turkeys and give off lots of colors in the sun.

But... all is not lost. Shay Stephen's has a wonderful PS action on his site HERE, that gets rid of fringing. It's the best $10 I've ever spent.

It took me less than 3 seconds to do this:


Just two clicks of the mouse.

Cool shot and apt title!
