Good detail in the larger image and a nice job on the whites, Peter. I wish they'd been flying a bit toward you, but they rarely cooperate on that one.

Nice job getting both birds in focus, Peter. You did a great job with the exposure, the whites look good.

Nicely done on a difficult exposure with white birds in the sun Peter, just enough eye contact to work well. devil
