    What a precious moment you caught, Fabs! Love the white/gray birds against that brick red rock.

    Wow Fabs, you're there already! The world is a small place.

    You did well to hold the whites in the gorgeous image of my favourite bird. Nice to see a chick; some years when I worked on this island, they produced very few. You have captured perfectly the physical look of the place and the relationship between parent kittiwake and chick.

    I'll be giving your regards to Tony Power probably tomorrow. This was from O'Briens boat.

    Glad you like it!!! It's difficult to work from the boat with high winds, saw a lot of whales too :eek:

    Fabs,
    This is such an awesome image. The perfect capture of the whites and the greys are just top notch!
    The interaction with the mom and baby is great as well. Way to go.

    Beautiful work, Fabs. I love the detail in the bird's feathers and that touching pose.

    Lovely and sharp and a great pose. The whites look a bit bluish.

    Love it Fabs! The way the chick's head is nestled against mom while it looks at you reminds me of a child doing the same thing.

    Great moment captured. I like the poses and tender mood. Maybe a tad higher color temperature. Have fun!
