I captured this pair of Razorbills earlier this year, thanks for having a look

Bill:

I love razor bills, hope to have a chance to seem them someday.

They always remind me of hotrod cars because of the striping on the bill and face.

Nicely exposed, very cute interaction.

Always a challenge to see much detail in their eyes, they are so dark.

Cheers

William,

I think you exposed this one perfectly in what seems to be a relatively overcast day. Both whites and blacks have great detail and I agree with Randy that getting the eye to show so prominently is very nice.

If you have more from this series, I'd like to see them!

A tender moment for sure. Well exposed and the aperture selected covered both subjects well. The whites look great, but from my monitor the blacks seem to have a fair amount of noise in them. I'd also add a tad bit of canvas at right to get an equal amount of space on both sides.

[John Cooper]

The tender rapport between these two Razorbills is quite captivating William, Great exposure here retaining good detail in the white plummage and superb BG.

Hi William, I'm with Dan re comments & feedback especially the Blacks, did you lighten them, as they do look a tad thin? Good to see you challenging yourself with such a subject, not easy so well done.

[Rachel Hollander]

Hi William - a tender moment. Nice choice on the dof to get both sharp and good control of the whites. Excellent suggestions and comments above about the blacks.

TFS,
Rachel

Hi William, excellent exposure on both, and well timed to capture the moment. Another vote for adding more space on the right.

[MiroslavMaric]

Hi William. Like the pose and light. Well done shot. If mine I would add 5% at the right side only, so I agree with Daniel. I have no idea about noise in dark because I'm not familiar with the species. TFS.

Cheers,
