Congratulations Jasper Doest
Northern Gannet

Probably one of my favourite images from my trip to Ireland last week.

When the clouds came around the end of the day in I decided to go a bit further regarding the use of fill-flash. I put on my better beamer to get a spotlight effect on this scene and used a slow shutterspeed to add some dynamics to the shot. Quite different from my previous post but personally I like this much better. Curious what you think...
