Bridled Guillemot

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 :redface:

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.
