Wonderful to see these birds in their breeding plumage -- Iceland in May.

D500, Sigma 150-600C @ 600mm; ISO 2500, 1/3200s @ f/7.1 manual. Cleaned up a bit of whitewash.

Well done Bill...Beautiful colours on the bird with nice detail. Just wondering if a little CW rotation, would work, with the lines running along on the BG. Love the colours on the bird.

Thank you all. Will, the ripples in the water are caused by the wind, and are not representative of the level of the image. I think if I tried to level it based on the ripples, the bird might fall over backwards.
