Lots of nice feather detail on the under wing and once again the bird pops nicely from that muted bg,really enjoying these shots Chris.

Love that wings up pose and the various rocks. The BG is pretty sweet. Some of the whites on this bird are looking grayish to my eyes. Maybe you recovered some of the whites a little too much? Not difficult to adjust.

Points noted above Chris . Still a grand little shot of one of my favourites though.
Brings back memories.

This is a very wonderful shot. Very different take on this beautiful ball of feather. Agreed on this looking a little grey or maybe it isn't. The composition is spot on!

[Jonathan Ashton]

Excellent shot Chris looks spot on to me. I suspect he is not spotlessly clean hence the grey plumage.

[William Dickson]

Very well done Chris. Great capture. I have photographed these birds, I think the whites may because of the lighting at the time. Great pose and lovely BG blending very well.

Killer double overhead wing stretch. And at least now I know what species it is. Good eye by Marina; I'd love to see a repost with the WHITEs re-done.

It was the lighting at the time,I cannot lighten the whites too much,as I lose detail in the whites and shows clipping.PSthey have some grey feathers.Thanks
