Pigeon Toes
Taken during a very productive trip to Skomer in June. I found the stance amusing, hence the title.

All C&C welcome.

Nikon D3 with Nikon 300 mm/2.8. 1/320 sec at F7.1, ISO 400, EV -0.7 HH

Lovely light in this one and the beak full of fish is a real bonus!

That's some mouthful! Cracking shot too. I might take a little off the top unless you are leaving room for the title.

Hello Mike

Brings back memories, got some great light on that day Mike and you have captured this pose really well. Mike I have got to say but your processing has really come on lately and is making all the difference.

I can echo Danny's comments Mike, I think this is perhaps the best image I have seen so far from you and look forward to many more. I like the composition, detail and indeed the light. All has come together nicely and very well done indeed. I would have liked a little more room (between 5-10mm) at the bottom but that's personal taste only..
