    I love to watch these little guys, whistling and thrashing around in the water... Captured in late afternoon light today. Cropped for composition in LR2, then saturation and sharpness in CS4. Lots of motion here!

    50D, EF400mm f/5.6L
    Manual mode, f/5.6@1/2000 ISO 400 WB 5100K
    AI Servo autofocus, hand-held no flash

    Hi Kerry - love the pose - wings are far enough forward to give a unobstructed view of the head. Exposure looks good and love all of the water drops.
    Id be tempted to crop just a tad more from the top.
    Good show :)

    Hi Kerry Impressed with the exposure, difficult to hold the whites on those little guys. My favorite wing position !! Like the crop as presented, virtual feet are out but just looks good as presented !!! Excellent !!!

    This little guy is moving around for 1/2000sec Kerry. I might add a bit more sharpening in the head/beak area.

    Captured a great action pose. The sharp details mixed with some blurred feathers works well in this composition. I like the colours, the blue in the water is nice. Very good work.
