Great pose, perfect exposure and excellent details, Alan.
Hi Alan, a species I havent seen before, but you sure have nailed the banking flight pose. Excellent exposure on both whites and browns, and I like the splayed legs.
Excellent banking pose, Alan. Super exposure, eye contact, and I love the background.
Pose and head angle are beyond the beyond. Love the visible tertials at the base of the upper wing. I may be confused but I remember that the brown murres are Common Murres and that the Thick-billed are black....

Wonderful image, the wingspread and feet show are phenomenal.
Excellent show of tertials too. Very rarely seen this well.
Perfect in every way, Alan.
Alan,
The simplest critique here is none at all this is truly wonderful![]()

Soooo crazy good, its...crazy!!
Nice Alan! Spectacular capture. Question, is the top wing less sharp due to motion blur or dof? I don't think it detracts from the image, but I'm really curious to know.
