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

Very nice shots. I like the eye contact.

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.
