Unusual and superb image. I love the portrait compostion and the feather detail.

I like all of your Bass Rock images, seems you had a good trip. I think this is the best image.

Regards

David

I'm going to borrow Tim's word here John {if its ok with Tim :rolleyes: }

Its a stonking image :toast:

Always difficult to get something a bit special/different from the norm, in these hot-spot areas, but you have come up with the goods here :toast:

I love it

Hi John,

Love the detail and pose. I think the potrait format works particularly well.

Regards Chris.

Isn't it that boxer boss (Don someone or other?) just the haircut reminds me of him. Great capture of the fish disposal unit. Must be some experience travelling with god (Miguel).

Hi John

Super image, maximum cuteness points for this one. Perfect exposure with lovely detail in the whites and blacks. Great pose and expression as well which is what really makes it a great shot.

I have looked through your other images on your website, you did well on Bass Rock. Also your Sea Eagle pictures from Norway are fantastic. I particularly liked the shot of the eagle in flight set against the background of the hills and trees in the distance. You certainly had a memorable trip judging by your images.

cheers

Sean
