    Well, pretty small in frame I guess. There was a lot of action among the Eiders at this location, but the fly-bys were mostly at some distance out from the beach. Iceland, May 2019.

    Beautiful bird. Love the blue water background. This works well small in the frame.

    I agree it works well small in frame. Love the deep water and texture from the waves. Bird looks good with a nice pose and exposure. Comp works for me. TFS

    Hi Bill, excellent flying pose with the full downstroke of the wings. Well exposed, sharp, and the Eider pops from the darker water BG.

    Good one, Bill. Like the downstroke with nice angle, and fine detail.
