I captured this one yesterday morning, from the rocky shoreline. Wished I had some better light.

Nice one Will. That pale background , which I don't normally go for gives it a surreal effect. Nice range of whites.

Nothing wrong with that light IMO, totally shadow-less and makes he bird look like a painting. Very nice.

[Karl Egressy]

Such a cool looking bird you captured, Will. Looks good, would look great against blue sky.

[Arthur Morris]

Light and bird are lovely and it looks pretty darned sharp. With luck you might have had a bit more into the downstroke but overall excellent. a

Looks like you nailed this one Will,sharp and very well exposed.

Lovely image against what I would call a white sky here in Florida. Nice colors, sharp detail. Thank you for sharing.

This is excellent Will.
Tack sharp with great wing position.
The whites look excellent - perfect exposure.
As presented, the image is great but it would have been "killer" to get this against a non-white BG!

Everything looks spot on. As Artie mentions a bit more downstroke would have been excellent, but I do realize that sometimes ducks pas by with shallow wingstrokes. I like the high-key effect.

[Gerald Kelberg]

A real stunner, Will!
Love the high key effect with the light background - looks very dramatic with the 'graphic' shapes of the Eider.

Very well done!
