Thank you Jeff, the other two are with a positive exposure bias and the one you like (lighting) is a slight negative bias. Another thing I have to learn.
Been looking at all your posts and I see improvements in each one
I notice that several of your last posts were about focus, but I
disagree. It's about the LIGHT !!
Jeff mentioned it above and he is correct.
Put your camera away between 11am and 3pm (just a guideline),
especially for wildlife shooting.
Most if not all of my wildlife images have some negative bias.
Remember camera meters want to make everything middle gray (128)
and hardly anything is middle gray in the wild!
Understanding your Histogram and the Zone System has helped me
and it will help you as well.
Thanks very much Ben. I need all the coaching I can get, and I really appreciate the folks in this community.
By the way, I have been looking at your galleries and they are truly impressive.
Thanks
Well Ben said it lots better than I did [nothing new] when you shoot on a bright day and the light is behind the subject [backlit] you loose the eye and detail in the feathers in the shadow area .shoot with the light at your back ,[when you can ] then follow Ben's advice --with more work you can take some of the bright white line on the birds head and the fountain edge away but that's a lot of work . here is a redue but it is not a lot better
Big improvement Dan. You are definitely on the right track.

I got Arthur Morris's CD yesterday. Question: For a BIF with water back ground shooting in Servo, should I use a single sensor focus or all nine sensors? I was unable to get tack sharp images using multiple sensors. Big question, I know, but any help you can provide is appreciated. Here is an example:

"Hey could someone help me get upright!"
"I'm coming. Hold on honey."
OK it's a pigeon but cut me some slack:
