Shag (Phalacrocorax aristotelis)
I thought I should play safe with the title :biggrin:

Taken on Staple island a few weeks ago and spent too much time on these fellows and not enough on the Puffins which was my main aim. Not sure about the lower half of the body on the right. The contour looks odd to me? If you continue the foreground to cover it that too looks odd :confused: Any thoughts?

Great shot, love the detail in the eye, the shape doesn't bother me to much as you are drawn to the face.
