Hi to all,
Fulmar, photographed this morning on the east coast, weather conditions were on the blowy side which should have made for some fine displays from the Gannets and Fulmars, but neither ventured above the cliff tops, thanks for looking.
Andy, I do hope you will accept the following comments in the spirit in which they are meant, and not take offence.
Andy, what I was really saying was that to me, the image had been “enhanced” in Photoshop. When using Photoshop, there is invariably more than one way to achieve a desired result, for example, using contrast, levels, Hue/saturation, shadow/highlights, curves etc. all to one degree or another could be used.
No one sees colour the same as another, or have the same monitors etc., so there is always going to be some slight differences, as to how an image is being seen, by any one individual. So my reference to saturation, well just put it down to old age, and these old peepers of mine wearing out.
Please don’t forget, that my comments is just one opinion, but honestly said. But its upto the author of the image concerned, to decide if there is any validity to such comments. After all, I wasn’t there when the image was taken, or a witness to subsequent processes. I am, and everyone else is, just commenting on the final result.
One last thing, I am seeing an increasing amount of images on forums, where the author of the image has taken an image in poor light and then used Photoshop to bring it back, either to what they envisaged the image to/should be, or what they think others wish to see, thus losing some of the truth of the original scene. So again, sorry, if I have put your image inadvertently within this group.

Great shot well captured.
I struggle sometimes to see the points raised which could well be the result of differing monitor settings.

Hi Ray, no saturation, just levels and contrast.
Andy...
Especially from the upper side of the fulmar.
Not often done.
