Guillemot Portrait
Hi,

Finally got round to processing some of the images from recent trip.

Shot was taken looking down on the bird from cliff ledge around early evening.

Hi Rob,
The oof foreground is a little too overpowering for my liking. A little lower in the frame would be better in my opinion. The bird itself is well exposed with plenty of detail though & nice & sharp. Have you got any others with less foreground?
All the best
Rob.

Hello Rob

I like this alot. Slightly different.

I like the framing effect of the oof areas and the pose of the birds head.

Regards

an unusual shot, the sharp head and eye really grab you.
