Taken at a great place for flight shots that I've named "Andy's Corner" on Skomer Island as it was Andy Astbury who showed it to me.
I cropped a bit off the right as the bird was too central and cloned the cliff top off the bottom left corner, top and bottom are as shot.

Cannot understand why there are 40 views - it's a stunning shot, wished I had been able to take it. Terrific angle!

A fabulous shot Geoff, I hope this gets more attention matey, it really is nice, especially as I know what you had to do with the Sony to get shots like this!
