Bridled Guillemot, photographed on the east coast at Bempton, I've been after a shot of a Bridled Guillemot, that shows off that beautiful eye ring for quite a while, so I was quite pleased with this one, thanks for looking.

DPP / CS2 ( crop )

1D3, 500F4IS+1.4T/c, Gitzo, Wimberley
not sure of the techs, can't find the file

All comments welcome

That's very nice Andy, good detail in the dark areas and held the whites. Sharp where it counts. How much of a crop was it?

I would be very happy too. Sharp where it matters, nice blurring of wings and great background.

Hi Andy, I think it was about 80% of the original, but for some reason I can't find the RAW file so thats just a guess.
