This was taken on Machias Seal Island a couple of weekends back.

I really love this, totally empty clean background, just enough light separating the bird from the dark background.

Nice work.

Very sharp, with good DOF and exposure control. I would crop a little off the left and perhaps add some canvas up top. Also, I would even out the iris by lightening it and minimizing the shadow. Fill flash may have helped here. Thanks for posting!

Well done, Beth, I'd probably gone vertical.
Thanks for your patience!

[Grady Weed]

Nice clean eye and good breast details.
