I like this Craig - I really enjoy images that show animals in their habitats, and this is nicely done with the overarching cliff.

Thats a nice image, I may have been tempted to include the bottom of the nest but as John says the OOF cliff frames the bird nicely and draws your eye to it.

Craig, a really pleasing image. I like the way the bird is outlined nicely against the great BG.
Your style shows in this image in spades. Excellent.

the overhanging cliff and the Kittiwake looking out to see are what make this image - nice idea - well executed!

Cheers

Lovely shot Craig. Nice to see some thought and imagination used to create a different image than the usual close up of a Kittiwake on the nest.
