Very cool shot Jonathan. I really like the intimate behavior you have captured and the great habitat around the birds. Much better than the typical poop covered rocks. Details look great. This is a bird that I have seen many times but always just flying out over the ocean and distant views at best. Actually found one last year flying around New York Harbor just south of Manhattan. Nice to see them up close like this.

Really like the contrast of the bright birds against the darker environment here the interaction is nice as well.

Like everything about this image, Jonathan. They are such beautiful birds, and you've captured the interaction so well.

Really like this one Jon. So different from the normal BG surrounding these birds. Lovely interaction and detail on the birds. Colours look real good.
