This is well-exposed. Maybe Marcus could lend you a beak to complete it. :-)

Nice job steve, I have about 200 shoots of these birds and not one keeper, I cant seem to get the exposure correct on them for some reason, but you have great exposure here.. and If I posted all the shots where I have cut off wing tips, beaks, tails, I could fill this site myself :).. Great shot, maybe a 1/100th of a second and you have a perfect photo..... Take care.. Marcus
