Lovely scene Gail -- I really like the look back pose of the one. The eyes look good and I like the bit of orange in the frame from the mouths.Details in the blacks look pretty good. My only nit is the large OOF green bit in the right corner. Maybe dodging or cloning out some of the white portions of that could help make it less distracting. I didnt have much luck with the razorbills in the UK so jealous of this. TFS

Quite like this capture, Gail. Wonderful interaction and we can see both eyes. Nicely handled blacks and whites. Nice perch and lovely BG. The OOF green on the rock is a tad distracting.

Very nice, love the interaction, tack sharp and good lighting.

Very nice interaction Gail, the right bird could have a better HA but I am more distracted by the OOF FG of the LRHS
