Amen! The lines of the parallel beaks make this shot for me.

Great job.

Great light and shooting to you all!

Great capture, Neil. Wonderful pair. Were you able to get images of the entire bodies?

Jim,

In this particular case, no. They were fairly close and I was backed up as far as possible to get as much as I did in the frame. Often on the cliffs the "perch" is not too attractive and there can be a clutter of gulls, cormorants and sleeping pelicans down low. So, sometimes you have to cut off the bottoms, so to speak, to avoid this clutter.
