Excellent shots and I like the first two, Hendrix! :D
Exposure and contrast are good. Avoiding taking them in mid-day sun is the key here ...

Some tech data would be appreciated both for interest and learning. ;)

Thanks KK , I learn a lot from you ;)

It is in a bit of cloud day , this can get less contrast and balance the white & dark.

AFS300/2.8 + 1.4X on D1X , 80% crop . ISO400
A mode, 1/320 , f 4.5 , Center Weight metering -0.3EV.

edit RAW with DEE & curves to keep balance of light & dark.

the last one is ISO200
A mode, 1/2000 , f 4.5 , Center Weight metering -0.3EV.
the subjet is under , "save" by Nikon Capture DEE.

DEE can bring up dark detail but not loss the bright area. very useful to show the black eye in black face :D but for the 3nd one as it quite under, it get quite noise in dark area.

Hendrix,

I love the first shot, as it clearly shows the "fork-tail"

Hendrix, the latest Photoshop CS Shadow/Highlight tool offers similar function to the DEE in Nikon Capture 4 by the way ... ;D

Can the lastest PS CS replace contrast masking technique? ??? The noise was quite appearent in the lower right of 3rd one. Anyway, excellent capture!

Hendrix,

I like the 1st one too. But I prefer to have more crop for my personal taste.

Great shots! :D
