pretty cool image! the focus is sharp but I wish the image had more fine details. If you have the pixels perhaps post a bit larger if it holds up.... Don't you wish there was a D500 or D5 in 2012. You did well with the 12 mega pixel camera which was the latest in 2012 but sounds like a joke in 2020!

Nice flight pose you captured Geoffrey...I like the pano crop. Yes, posted bigger and this image would have more impact.

Good incoming pose. Looks nice and sharp against that lovely oof Icelandic tundra BG.

This is excellent. I like it much more than the previous image.
Love that Iceland BG.
Great incoming pose and nice and sharp. If IQ can hold up, I would crop in left and right by about 5% on eac side.

That's a beauty Geoffrey. The background rocks! An alternative to Gail's good suggestion is to add 10% at right only to have the skua a bit more off-center. Still love it as is.

Looks great. Nice pose and the background is spot on. Nice and sharp as well.

Thanks all.
