A nice relaxed shot Alan with great detail & dof. I like the way the eye is peering out of the plumage.

Well taken & at a nice low level to :toast: :toast:

Yeah very nice. I saw 48 of these today in a sort of raft in Belfast Harbour.

Hi Alan a nice a quiet photo. Just wish for the eye to stand out a bit more, maybe with some selective brigthening and red saturation ? :toast:
