Congratulations Michael Hogan
Guillemot or Murre

This was a stormy April last year. The sea birds had just arrived back on the cliffs and were busy doing what birds do in spring. The waves were crashing on the bottom of the cliffs and I was trying to get these guys with the spray in the background and them sharp. It was difficult and in the end I did not get what I was looking for. I came across this one and thought it worked. Bird fairly sharp, wings blurred giving motion and the BG giving out of focus spray.

Let me know if you agree or am I dreaming
