One from the harbour at the weekend. The Eiders are in full breeding mode here. The male had been attempting to 'court' with the female, she wasn't interested and chased him away!!

Haaahaaa He is giving her the evil eye! Excellent capture Will, exposure, eye contact, bubble wakes, etc, ... That ought to send him away!

Nice action. Like how you caught the females head with all the splashing water along the body.

Eiders don't come much better than that Will. Caught at the right moment great detail and focus I really like the colours, selective sharpening (I guess) worked well.
