This is a shot I took on the way back from the Isle of Skye last year returning via the east coast of Scotland. The light was stunning and there were only sea gulls...but as always the light (well for me) makes the shot. C&C welcome.

Yes the lighting certainly gives oomph. Excellent.

Hit the nail on the head there Ian. The light has really lifted this shot of what I always considered a beautiful bird. Very nice image.

The lighting on the neck of the bird and the beak makes this one Ian.

Nice lighting and an interesting species if you spend time observing its behaviour.

Cheers,

The lighting against that background works very nicely Ian.

Hello Ian.

Beautifully captured and processed, the rim lighting on the bird is excellent and the base is just perfect.
