Gee, that's a good one! A perfect example of positive exposure compensation for whites. And a great looking subject too :)

Very nice. Exposure is spot on, as has been mentioned...but the 'brakes' are where it's at. Nicely captured.

Yes with white on a light color (beach) bg I used +1 EC. If this same bird had been against a dark bg then -1/3 or -2/3 would have been needed.
