Three's a Crowd
1D2n, 600mm f4 IS x2.0 TC, 1/640s, f10, iso 200.

I struggled with a composition here, and the light was very harsh, but I'm reasonably happy with it. The foreground fulmar had just landed and was encroaching on the nest. Didn't half get a roasting!

The comp works well for me - there's a strong diagonal through the birds heads from top right to bottom left, and it's got some fantastic action Ian :toast: :toast:

I think it could look better with some processing adjustments but it's a strong image IMHO - good shot :wavey: :wavey:
