Tell Me I'm Cute

Machias Seal Island, June 19, 2010, 10:00 am, bright sun.
Hard to resist these birds, but also hard to get the right exposure.
Canon 7D, 28-300mm @300, ISO 200, 1/1250, f/6.3, handheld. Minor adjustments in Lightroom 3 and CS5.

Great comp and pose. You nailed the exposure on the blacks and whites. Nice colours too. TFS !

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Pose is priceless :-) loved the blue BG and that rock. Exposure looks spot-on to me. Well done and thx for sharing.

[Troy Lim]

Moment is priceless. Cute factor. :) TFS

[Lance Peters]

Your cute ;)

Pic is not half bad either.

[Fabs Forns]

This pose is adorable, Dick, really precise timing for the shutter. Great EXP control and comp. I may get the saturation down a notch. TFS.

Nice exposure, framing and detail Dick. Very cute. I might like to see a version with an eye showing. But this one is great!

[Cory Bucher]

Head on pose works really well and as stated above the exposure is spot on.

[Jory Griesman]

Exposure is dead on. Nice view of wings - not easy to get this angle. Machias is one of the best places to get this close.

[Bonnie Block]

Yes! You are cute! If we could see an eye it would be perfect. Lovely exposure and angle.

loved the bowing like pose, sure can be used as a mascot, great details in the blacks and the perch and BG works great....
