There was a couple of these birds hopping around at the harbour entrance whilst I was photographing ducks. I managed to capture this one at the weekend.

Thanks for looking

A great setting for this species. Light is a little contrasty where either a kiss of fill flash or balancing the light in PP would improve it IMO.

Nice find among the barnacles but the highlights on the breast appear to have been blown. Maybe you can repair in PP. Are you using DPP4? Highlights down, shadows up.

Fantastic and unique setting! But like the others mention, it's the lighting that throws off the image - but I do like how the barnacles above the bird are sidelit.

I also like the barnacles but the harsh contrasty light made it a tough situation to deal with
