    What an awesome image and pose, Chris. It's amazing how much these look like our juvies, except ours are light pink but with the same wing tips and beaks. Just enough of the bird's head is peeking through to make this work.

    Hi Chris, love the 'umbrella' wing position, and good job on the exposure. Tack sharp throughout, and if anything, a touch of NR on the BG wont harm this.

    I have to get back to Korsmans sometime soon. Cheers.

    Nice light and pose, I don't notice much noise, but I think toning down the BG in the upper right corner would look better.

    Looks like he is parachuting in for a landing! The whites are exposed perfectly. Great light .Great pose and I like the peek-a-boo face,
