This is fantastic Phil - really good. I love the way that you can see the guillemots behind the Shag, showing its environment. The fact that you can see the horizon I also think is great, and so is the chick :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

Only nit is that there is a red buoy in the sea behindthe cliffs, although that is its habitat

That red buoy could not be in a worse position. At least it is small, and easily sorted. Otherwise I love it, especially the chick.

A lovely scene showing the bird and its wonderful chick in its habitat. I think I would prefer a closer crop, eliminating some of the rock on the left, leaving the subjects a little bigger in the frame.

Good habitat shot Phil. May be worth correcting the horizon.
