cliff nesting fulmars in Iceland

[annmpacheco]

I was lying on top of the cliff and watched the northern fulmar ride the wind, and after several passes it was able to land near its mate and nest.

I love the environment shown in this. And a lovely composition. I'm amazed at the DOF at 6.3. Well done. I might have been tempted to clean the whitewash, but it is what it is.

I like the perched fulmar looking at the other flying overhead.Shows the connection between the two.
Good environmental shot and love the pop of green.
Agree with Bill on cleaning up the bird poop! Do you have a bit more room below? If you do I would add it to the bottom of the frame.

This image is quite unique, Ann, and has a lot of interest. Absolutely love the environment and the way the one fulmar on the nest is craning its neck while it's mate is flying off. Well seen and executed.
