A fine shot Paul of an adult male developing its breeding plumage. Crop is a little tight at the bottom for my taste, maybe as much rock again if nothing else intrudes.

Thanks Colin. Yes i have more room below (more rock). Will take another look. Cheers.
Hi Paul, I like the image, beautiful bird, nicely shown. I think, what I am guessing are ripples in water, helps the background rather than being all white. I agree with Colin regarding more on the bottom. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Joseph and Andreas. Here's the same bird with more rock at the bottom as per Colin's original suggestion. Cheers.
Having more rock has improved the comp Paul, but the face looks a bit crunchy with some blacks/strong contrast.

Hi Steve. Thank you, but I'm fine with the face.
Thank you Daniel. Yes, I'm glad to have photographed this species.
