This is another Eider I captured at sunset, from the shore in my hometown.

Sweet wing position and light here William. These birds are really hard to expose properly as their feathers are so thin and soft and for the most part it looks really good. Looks like the top of the neck is a touch hot. Two toned background is very nice.

A beauty of a shot, Will. Lovely light, good detail, great flight position and background. Well done.

So sweet Will, I especially like the tad of tail feathers in-between the feet, sharp and lovely exposure...

[Dorian Anderson]

Yes, this is a very nice image image of this beautiful bird. Exposing eiders is a tough, and there is a bit of a hot spot as Isaac mentioned. But overall
this is a strong image.

Hi Will, excellent flight pose with the full downstroke of both wings. I like the overall detail, and various colours these guys have, and all against a clean sweet BG. Well captured.

[William Dickson]

Thanks for that guys, much appreciated.

Lovely BIF mate.
I see a faint dust bunny near the left edge in line with the bird's crown. It's barely visible, but it's there....
Thanks for sharing.

Got to be happy with this one Will, great downstroke and flight angle

Lovely wish it were mine. Great background makes the bird pop off the screen.

Thanks, Akos, Mike and Kevin.
