Oh, what a beautiful creature - lovely capture - nice eye contact - and colours.
Pretty good for an old D300....;)

Beautiful flight shot and nice juxtaposition with the OOF bird.

Nicely done Dave.. The OOF bird if it can be removed would enhance the image IMO...

Love this species and the wing position you captured here is great. If it was mine i would remove the essence of Eider in the BG. But you probably shared this one because you like the essence of Eider, as i am sure many people do. Its a personal taste thing. Cheers
Thanks for looking,

Thanks everyone! Yes, I like the "essence of eider" although it would be way better if his wings were in the same position as the bird in focus.

Nicely expose and composed David, the one on the BG gives some balance without distracting me from the main target.
