Brünnich's Guillemot
Another one from Varanger, Norway. One of the very few shots I got of flying alcids without a blue sky.

1D MarkIII + 500/4; iso200, f5.6, 1/4000

A good test for the MKIII AF, Nice background, I might be inclined to clone the top RH corner to match :toast:

Nice one, agree with Dave on the top RH corner...

hi helge,

nice flying image. i'm a secret hater of blue backgrounds. however...i disagree with the comments on the blue piece here going missing. for some reason it make the whole image a lot more powerful. why this should be completely escapes me but if i put my hand over that piece of blue the whole thing looses punch.

These are hard to get. Good work Helge. Undecided on the top RH corner :toast:

Hi Helge. Great capture :smile: I see slight noise in the BG but could be my crappy monitor. Otherwise superb, would like a shot like this. :toast:

Nice shot of an unguided missile :cool: - would have prefered the wings to be up rather than down, but you get what the bird gives you :wink:. Another vote to loose the blue corner.
