A little different to norm and the adverse weather conditions make for a good and interesting setting.
I like the arrangement of the group, with the two central birds standing upright.
I also like, that despite the dull conditions, the way the vibrancy of the birds really catches your eye.
The pano crop works great too.
Just a little more room above the birds would be good, but certainly not a deal breaker.
I like this one a lot and the definitely worth braving the rain for.

Nice image Will and the weather conidtions certainly make the image , i would have liked a bit more space left and right.

Will some friendly advise: don't only post images but also take the time to comment on other posts on this forum.

Good luck

It's certainly different Will and all the better for it, makes for a pleasant change to the normal Puffin shots we see. Agree with Justin re the comp, nice one and keep them coming.

Well worth getting wet for. Excellent. I hope there is a Photography GCSE, if so you are sure to get an A. :smile: :wink: I agree with Rene more comments would be nice, but you are not alone. :rolleyes:

I like the diagonal lead in,the rain streaks,the rain bouncing off the rock and the oranges and reds.
Good image Will, but a bit more space above would be better if you've got it.
