This Northern Fulmar was hovering at eye level off a cliff in Iceland, hardly moving just drifting on the air currents. Not sure who was checking out who. Thanks for looking.

If you were that close, you could probably have reached out and touched it! Like the head turn, sharpness, and sky BG. The whites on top of the neck could probably be toned down a little. I'm not crazy about the black border.

Good close up Paul, and a good view of an interesting beak. The clouds in the BG look good.

[Andrew McLachlan]

Nice one Paul! Great that you were able to shoot it with the macro.
