Welcome to BPN, Holger, and what a terrific first post! THe bird just pops against that blue background (BG). Your image looks well exposed. Very much like the composition you chose and the pose of your Eider.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Excellent flight pose and sharp details, Holger.

Holger:

Welcome to BPN! It is a great place to learn and grow as a nature photographer.

Very nice first image, like the composition, and the wave in front is a very nice element, much stronger impact than just a plane sea background.

Show us some more.

Cheers

Randy
