Hooded Mergansers are one of my favorite ducks, but I have such a problem getting a good exposure on the blacks and whites. I used a fill flash on this because it was a completly overcast day and of course I managed to to blow out the whites. I got them under control according to my histogram is PS, but wish I could get a touch more detail. I gues you can't get detail where none existed. Any suggestions on how to properly expose these guys would be great!
