Awesome capture Ric, very beautiful.

If you EV down a bit, maybe you can squeeze some more detail out of the feathers.

Thanks for sharing

You would love Green Island. I was totally taken with the place. The way it's layed out you can get proper light just by moving to different areas as the conditions change. If I could shoot there all the time, I could get the practice I need.

Thanks, Dave.:D
