Mark III with 500 and 2x with flash @-1/3
ISO 400, f 13.0 1/200
I hoped to get them both in focus. In most of the shots it didn't happen even at f 13.0

Great capture, birds are nice and sharp. Looks light the whites are blown from the side light. I might crop a little off both sides. Over all it is one I wish I had.

Just love those expressions!!! And both with open beaks!!!! Love the composition. The side/rim light doesn't bother me at all. Where and when did you catch these cuties?

A beauty, or I should say, two beauties, Susan.

You might try lightening/sharpening the eyes a bit.

Great pair, they look so funny! The repost is improved. I would desaturate the greens a few points and tone down the whites a little.

Wonderful image but for the blown rim light areas... Where??? When??? How???

Just love the in tandem squawking.

Is this version better yet?

Here is my repost suggestion. Less saturation in the greens and whites toned down.

I used the magic wand tool to select the bright parts and decreased the lightness about 5 points.

Thanks Susan. Where is Hutchinson Island? Do you need a boat to get there? My I assume that these are free and wild birds???

Still wonderful. later and love, artie
