    Default Hoo are You?

    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.

    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.
