Have tried to make my extension a little less obvious. Thanks for the comments - I hope this is an improvement. :wavey:

Hi Kim

You needed to go the other way for the EV+ when dealing with snow. I think it's just a little too contrasty and dark, choking the detail you have in the the image, best to meter manually on the snow close to the bird, then amend your EV.

Hope you don't mind me reposting just as a rough example of what you have there, rather crude I know.

cheers
