Nicely done here, Steve. Great find with the nest and love the comp. Did you use a fill flash?

I'm guilty here as well, but is there any way to recover some of the white off of the mom? Great shot.

Thanks Richard. I'm a stickler for highlights, no loss on the birds. Some detail may be compromised by distance at the high end but there is tonal value there. Possible that your monitor is cranked up?

No worries Richard, I have one monitor at work that's so poor I dedicate it to email only. Thanks again.

Thanks very much everyone. I have quite a bit more from Wakodahatchee to process, great place for nesting shots.
