Well light wasn't in my favour but with great opportunities you just have to have a go and hope for the best.

Lance, Great shot, I love the HA's .Exposure looks good for harsh sun!! Well done!

[Cheryl Flory]

Wonderful exposure for the lighting. great low angle which is great to highlight the green stripe on the feet.

Nicely done Mr. Peters...I would not change anything...Like it as presented...the head angles and sharp eye contacts are great. you whites are well within range and the dark blue background sets your subject well...good show...:cool:

P.S. I'm thinking about taking two weeks next year to "The Land From Down Under"...:D maybe we can go out one or two days to capture these little guys...:):cool:

Good photo with very good exposure considering the circumstances! They look like they're saying something! I might tone down the bit of white on top of the adult's head just a tad.

Did really well with the harsh sun Lance Even with good light those birds are difficult to capture, I like the feather detail and interaction !! Fine image !!

[Nonda Surratt]

Really well done Lance, I think the dark blue BG really sets the birds off.

[Lance Peters]

Gus - no problems - bear in mind these guys are DEC-MARCH only, plenty of others to show you as well if you are not coming in this time period :)
