[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 836691, member: 50197"] I agree with BF that the main problem is blown out highlights. I also looked at the beak of the bird and it doesn't look quite sharp either. It could be AF was locked on something else, or it could be motion blur. No EXIF data to look at and see what the shutter speed was. When shooting white birds, I usually give it about 1.5 to 2.5 stops underexposure. Exactly what I choose is normally based on experience. I give more compensation in bright sunlight, and/or with a predominantly dark background. If you are shooting with a mirrorless, the display often clues you in that the subject is over/underexposed, and changing compensation will change the look of the display. On a DSLR a quick review of the image after you take it can also clue you in. [/QUOTE]
