Another photo from the Hood Canal this spring. The guillemots nest in the cliffs above this bay and seem to like to gather here in the late afternoons to socialize.

Canon MKIV, 600mm, 1/2500, f9, ISO 640, manual shutter and spot meter, minor crop all around

All your comments and suggestions are very much appreciated.

Nice handling of the blacks and whites combination. The water color sets them off well.

Real nice image, Ken! Love the low perspective and the interaction of the two birds. Exposure is wonderful. Nicely captured! Sharon
