Fulmar flying along the cliffs.
Canon 40D, Canon 100-400, F8, 1/500, ISO 400, HH.

I love Fulmars and have many shots of them against the sea and sky, so I thought this time I'd have ago of getting them along the cliffs.Thanks for looking. :wavey:

Hi Guy,
Looks 3D on my screen, it pops for sure. I'd like some OOF birds in the cliff to give it scale and ID, still much better than the standard blue sky.

It looks 3D indeed. Nice shot!

It's a superb shot Guy - everything is just right :toast:

Believe me folks this image looks a lot better bigger - in the big image you can see a catchlight in the eye and bags more detail - see http://wildlifeinpixels.com/img/hosted/guy1.jpg

Top shot matey :wavey:
