Black Guillemot

[Mike Milicia]

EOS-1D Mk IV, 500mm f/4L IS + 1.4xII, 1/800, f/8, ISO 400
About 90% of Full Frame.

Photographed on Flatey Island in Iceland this past June during the Shoot The Light workshop.
The eel-like prey is a gunnel, also known as butterfish.

Looking forward to your comments and critiques!

Such an awesome setting for the subject Mike. Love the slightly dried texture of the butterfish.
Excellent exposure work with plenty of details on this contrasty bird. A consideration would be to
clone out some of the pooh markings, unless that conflicts with your ethics...Not all of them, in
particular, that one to the left of the bird is catching my eye, and the one above the head....

Pretty cool capture. I really like the rocks

[Daniel Cadieux]

I agree this is a nice setting. Well exposed, good colours, and odd prey make this a special image.

[Nico Steenberg]

Subject is well exposed and sharp. Comp work well and the catch adds to the IMG. Well done.

Very nice image Mike. I do like the bird, habitat and the uncommon pray.
