Nice catch of the wings up. The crop held up pretty good and the whites are on the edge, still a great shot.

Excellent bird and the wings being up is a real plus!

The dark background fooled the meter into overexposure which it always done if you have a small white subject against a dark background. This requires some negative exposure compensation.

A good shot despite the over exposure here, Haim!
Would want a tighter crop if the image quality could withstand it ... :roll:
