Looks like you have some excellent detail, if so then I think a larger image would be in order, say 1.5x. Irrespective of this, I would crop off the base as although it does give a base to the shot, it doesn’t add anything astatically to it, at least for me.

Still an excellent capture which I would be highly chuffed to have got, by the way have you looked at it flipped ??

I like this just as it is. Real sense of space afforded by the relatively small bird, and the 'baseline' of sea gives a real sense of this being 'habitat'. Looks a tad dark on my screen but thats maybe my setup. Nice simple composition and all the better for it. Nice one.

Despite the location, it has a distinct Mediterranean fell to it! I like it, very minimalist.

Keep the dark blue, it just seems to anchor the shot for me. The simplicity works for me :smile:
