Well, because of the size of images here, the black birds are certainly a challenge to show up. On the larger images, the eyes do show up well. Plus, not having them all totally sharp lends a depth to the image. The centre two birds are actually very sharp - got a magnifying glass? The thing is, each bird's eye is represented by, what, about 3-6 pixels? Pretty tough to make them pop at that size. But, hey, this is art. I'm not trying to show up birds as some kind of science reference. Jim Davis Nature Photography http://www.kjsl.com/~jbdavis/
