Those are excellent captures, Harv. I am really liking #6 with those eyes staring at you. :thumb:thumb

Well, yours is way better than mine! I had trouble with the backlighting and lost a lot of detail on the underside.

Well done!

Thanks a lot, Bob. I find that by bringing the images into CS2 and using the shadow/highlight function helps bring out detail on the underside. You also have to be careful not to expose for the sky as that will underexpose the underside of the bird. I always shoot in manual mode and after checking exposures for the blue sky at 90 degrees to the sun, I open up about 2/3 of a stop for starters, then check my first few images.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm sure your images are every bit as good or better.

Thank you, Stephen. It's quite common for these to be looking right back down the lens at me. I think it might have something to do with intimidation when I'm around the nests.
