Now this really is something else, a cracking shot by any standard.

You have handled the lighting superbly, its amazing the effect reflected light can give. Superb, just superb.

Where was this taken? I assume it wasn't Donna Nook, although with recent weather... :biggrin:

Seriously, a lovely, dramatic shot where you have managed the whites very well.

:eek: Awesome! Must get over there one day, even if it just to see these impressive creatures. Looks like a productive trip. Love the mid-wingbeat moment captured here.

Great pose and nice exposure control, detail in the dark plumage looks very good, even at this size..

Nice work.
