Here's another shot from the Farne islands. Just having a stretch before going for lunch.

Hi Jon, I like your angle of capture, and well timed to get the wing flap with both wings spread. Good texture on the plumage, well exposed, and just wish there was more light on his face to show up the colours. I do like the hint of clouds in the sky BG.

Looks like a stuffed toy! I do wish the light was more frontal and less harsh, but I enjoy the pose a lot here.

The bird looks so fluffy here taking a little off the right might help the composition a little.

I like the symmetry of the stretched wings and the POV.
The wispy clouds add a lot to the image.
Light a bit harsh and off angle but for me the fun shaking pose trumps that issue.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, yes I too was a little cheesed off about the light direction but I thought he looked cute.
