taken on skokholm. There are quite a few nesting on the cliffs and seem (in my limited experience photographing fulmars) particularly obliging. They just circle around and around making them relativley easy (compared to the puffins) to catch in flight.

Nice comp Jack and well captured
Either my monitor calibration has gone funny or yours has though
I've run the image through CS2 Shadow/Highlight, added a 0.8 HighPass filter and then a nik White Neutralizer - at least it looks a bit brighter this end
It would look a lot better done on the original tiff conversion and I've compressed it a bit too much - but you get the general idea.
Looks quite dark on my monitor as well. Like what Andy has done and as said, would look better done on the original raw file. Haven't got a decent shot of this species.
