    What a sweet image Denise and the exposure is spot on with lots of wonderful detail. Looks like a great trip so far. :)

    Too cute, and looking quite vulnerable. At least it has a parent bird watching it close-by:). I would probably remove the small stubby twig touching the chick's left shoulder (our right).

    P.S. to all: Well worth a visit to Denise's blog for a trip recap:cool:.

    Really neat image Denise.
    Was there just a hint of minus EV?

    Thank you all for your kind comments.
    Ian, I forgot to write that I shot that in manual. I am guessing that there was probably 1/3 plus EV.

    Cute little feller, Denise. Beautiful exposure and detail. Looking forward to more from Galapagos. Wish I had gotten to Tower to see the Red-foots.
