        Great image.

        There will be times when you will be in the field without a camera. And, you will see the most glorious sunset or the most beautiful scene that you have ever witnessed. Don't be bitter because you can't record it. Sit down, drink it in, and enjoy it for what it is!

            Les, that is stunning ............ I wish I had taken it!

            The exposure is just spot on, detail is excellent, I love the diagonal of the wings across the shot and all framed against the dark out of focus sea, without a single distraction.

            One to be proud of.

              Superb picture of one of my favourite birds. The colour and details around the head is awe-inspingly good.
