With the black and white thing going on, it is so hard to get a decent exposure of those gross beaks. I think I might take the K-1 out today and see if a bit more Dynamic Range would help.Most of the time I get white feather detail, or black feather detail but not both.

We couldn't do it with Kodachrome, ever. Digital is much better.

+ 1 on those comments. Not the kind of bird image that appears on PF daily, or monthly for that matter. Excellent work.
