Hi Guys

Here is one of my Razorbill shots taken a couple of weeks ago. I have been working hard on Auks in flight recently, so expect to see a few more.

Let me know what you think.

Canon 1D Mark III
300mm f2.8
1/1250 sec
f/3.5
ISO 200

Very good Steve, like the blurring of the wings which gives emphasis to the sharpness & detail of the head. BG colour works well too

Excellent! Especially to get that amount of detail in the eye.

Brilliant shot. When it popped up on my screen I thought it had just hit a window.

The motion on the wing tips is great.

Great detail and with just enough movement on the wings as already mentioned, great stuff

Wonderful shot that is right up there with the best on this site.
Exposure is nailed and composition is superb.
