Very very nice. The exposure is perfect!
Maybe a bit of NR on the FG?

Super wave action Will, love the flying water, and your exposure is superb. Details and the gorgeous colors throughout this eider are a delight, great job.
Nice you caught the bird catching a wave. The composition is spot on.
Thanks for that...Yes the exposure is difficult on these birds ...Black V White. What works best for me is slightly over expose the whites at a low ISO then, when processing, raise the shadows, and slightly lower the highlights with a few more tweaks usually works.

I like the wake and the pose, the IQ seems to have suffered quite a bit....

Probably due to the large crop Arash..They are 'just' out of reach. I'll try the 5D4 on them next time, see if that makes a difference.

I like the wave, pose, exposure and composition. Nice image Will.
I love that you got it raising its upper body just as the wave hit it, pretty cool. Nice colours, comp, exposure. Tough when the subjects are just out of reach!
