This shot is from our annual Washington state eagles and seabirds trip..  We always visit a colony of Pigeon Guillimots at Hood Canal.  This year we were fortunate to be able to witness and photograph a courtship and copulation of a pair, the light was a bit harsh when this happened but we were happy to photograph it.

Nice behavioral image. Pretty good detail in the blacks for harsh light. Consider adding a catchlight to the male?
