I am itching to take some photos at the moment especially with all the great images being posted, so I have been going through old files.
This was taken in spring when this guy was, like me waiting for the tide to tern and paid no interest to me as I crept up on him. The background is crashing waves so was constantly changing. A bit different to my normal images which show the bird in its environment so would appreciate any thoughts.

Hi Liam,
I like the idea - a nice portrait, but I think it needed better light to make it work properly. Eric

Hi, Liam,,
Nice idea but as mentioned could do with being a bit lighter should not be a problem to do though

I agree that its a nice idea but it looks like it was a tricky exposure and I would not have recognised any environmental element unless you had mentioned it, the backgrounds so clean.
Still a very nice shot to have on file.

Just had a play with some layers, and got this:
