    I'd be happy with eagle captures and that new TC thumb.gif

    couple things, hope ya don't mind

    the WB seems off to me, yellow/green cast. Keep in mind montiors all over the world are set
    differently. I normally don't say anything about it, except these seems severe enough. ne_nau.gif

    Also I don't care to much for the angle, but that's a personal thing.

    I was not happy with the angle either but then I did not have a lot of choice. I liked the ruffled appearance he had after his bath. Do not see them in that state to often.
    As far as the WB hmmm it seems ok on mine and I did custom setting using my expo disc that day. Lot of green moss on the branches though.

    Good set of captures. You did as well as you could with the angle you have. We really have to gte these birds to be more cooperative with us.

    I figured the yellow cast was due to early morning or late afternoon lighting. When did you get the captures.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    It was late afternoon, he was kinda of dingy looking from the muddy water he was bathing in. It was the ruffled look that I found different enough to capture.
