Some lovely reflections in the water and you've hidden the captive conditions well. It seems a tad over-sharpened to me?
I once took a train ride from Inverness to the RSPB reserve at Forsinard, and saw loads of Eiders on the sea from the train window - wonderful birds!
The eider does not look quite right to me. It looks over-processed, like you have tried to drag too much detail out of it. The black areas on the eider are showing a strong blue cast and there is a halo around it from the processing/sharpening.
One good place for eiders is Northumberland, off the north east coast. You can see them around the Farne Islands and get close views of them in some of the harbours such as at Sea-Houses.
Hi Rob, it does look a bit heavily processed on the blacks. Tough bird to expose by the look of it. Never seen one in the wild Nice pose and shooting angle
