    D3, 300, ISO 1250, f5.6, 1/1000. cropped from horizintal.

    It amazed me to see these guys lunge of the high cliffs and dive straight down, then leveling out just over the water. The BG is the Bering Sea. Can't wait to go back next year for more.

    Terrific comp. Alan. Stunning shot. BG is incredibly good and the bird is standing out so well here.

    Wonderful capture, Alan. Great exposure, composition, background (and timing to catch him in his dive). Love the concentrated look in his eye.

    Hi,

    I agree with the above comments - a great image, and one that I would have been proud to have taken.

    Beautifully captured image Alan. I love the sharp details, bright colours, BG and action. I wish that this was in my collection.

    Great timing and comp. Like the diving pose. Bird is well exposed and sharp against a killer bg.
