Good shot. You handeled the exposure well. Did you know that the record of holding fish is 70 at the same time? Amazing isn't it?

A fabulous shot with amazing detail.

I think this is a lovely shot. Detail, exposure and BG. Well done. Again begs the question why some images (as good or not so good) get more replies and yours only 2? :toast:

Hi Philip

This is a great shot but looks a bit washed out somehow. I dragged it into photoshop and it looks a lot better there. I see it hasn't been saved as sRGB before posting on UKNP and I wonder if that would help. Still, it may just be my colour perception or cheapo monitor.

Cheers

Nice portrait but just a tad tight in the frame for my liking.. Would like a little more room on the RHS. Well exposed example.

this works well for me, I know some may say it's the Puffin cliche shot but don't care if it's executed as well as that!
Superb detail, well exposed.

cheers
