Nice one Stuart. I've been there as well and remember a shag nesting more or less in the middle of the path.

nice environment shot, love the deep blue sea, although personally I'd probably cut a bit off the RHS, make it more square ish, but I like it all the same...

cheers

A well timed moment Stu, and fine result!!

Just personal taste, but i agree with Colin regarding a touch off the RHS, just to make the action more central.

Hi Stu,

Very nice shot. Light looks a little harsh, but then again I suppose were pleased it was sunny and raining and blowing a gale :biggrin: Love the colour of the water and interaction between birds. I like the composition.

Speak soon

I love the interaction, the colours and the inclusion of the environment. I go for a square crop too!

No - don't crop it - it's a nice comp - a bit avant garde - but there's nothing wrong in that if it works :toast:

Perhaps a bit too blue :wink:

A fine shot that might stand a couple of different crops. Quite like it as it is as well.
