Canon 1D2n, 300mm f4 x1.4, 1/200s, f5.7, iso 100.

Reading Nick's request about the Farne Islands prompted me to dig out some images from there. Must go again!

Nice shot Ian - it is not that easy getting clean clutter free shots at the Farnes, the shag posed beautifully for you

Glorious image Ian

Perhaps a bit tight around the tail, but a really lovely image with nice contrast, colour and detail - top shot

A bird that really benefits from being shot in flatter light, this looks lovely with excellent colour that show off the beauty of the plumage.

Superb, feather detail and colouirs set this one apart. That eye is surreal.
