    Very nice image Mark! Exposure, sharpness and detail look spot on to me. I feel that some different processing will make this image sing. Here is a very quick repost just to show the potential.
    Hope to see you in Long Reef soon...

    Hi Mark

    Nice and sharp with good detail on the bird but the image lacks something which I think is a noteable background...

    Bringing the sky blue out makes a big difference.Gives image a bit more punch.

    Good to see your back in the picture so-to-speak.

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. Love the repost Ofer, it looks a lot more natural.

    Sooties are at record numbers at the moment. We had 26 about 2 weeks ago, but there are still around 20 at the moment. I find them easier to approach when there is more of them so you need to get down here and take some more of those wonderful images like you got a few months ago.
    And same with you Tom! I bet you're itching to get some more Sooty images too!

    Mark, nice image. I love the sense of slope, and the raised foot is a bonus. Ofer's repost definitely looks even better.

    Cheers,
