How about a few urban birds. Found these guys playing in a fountain near the White House yesterday.

These guys are all very dark and they are all exposed perfectly :clap :clap Great detail on the feathers. Nice catch of them playing in the water, too :D

Yea, I got the exposure as close as I could in-camera. During post I also used a very slight amount of the shadow/highlight tool to really get it before doing the normal post stuff.

They were fun to watch. The best part was that they are city birds and will allow you to get fairly close so that even my short little lens could pull them in! :D

Thanks Steve...

Oh, so that's what they're called... hehehe... I don't know my birds very well, I just thought they looked cool.

Thanks for the compliments!
