    Default Razorbill sitting for his portrait

    Machias Seal Island. Somehow this guy reminds me of a Tuscan nobleman in a Renaissance portrait. Luckily some high clouds passed overhead, softening the midday sun. Cropped from horizontal. C&C appreciated.

    Very nicely done Bill, Love the look he is giving out to the left, appears he had his eye on something other than you.. Nice exposure with the whites and blacks.

    Excellent image Bill. I like the exposure, sharpness, pose and perch. I bet you were thankful that the clouds came in.

    Bill that D90 still works well. Excellent blacks and whites, very sharp as well. I can see that the rock he is on is a popular perch.

    This was well taken, with the soft light helping to achieve the desired effect.

    I love Razorbills - they are such handsome birds. Great job on the exposure - it looks spot on.
