Hi Keith, looks like the new toy is pulling it's weight creating a lovely image. Nice detail and the whites look well held, the foam looks just right. Would suggest easing off on the blacks as the eye looks solid, likewise the beak and there appears to be a sharpening halo around the bill. You owe me a large pint, it's RGB :mad:

Keep them coming, but sRGB!

A quality image enhanced further with the larger version.

Clearly the light is a lot better down under than it is here. This really is very beautiful Keith, the bird is a cracker and the setting perfect. A lovely composition.

Great image, but I do think I would like to see the eye lightened a little bit more.
