Outstanding display and great job with the exposure. I love the rock and the lichens. I wish for a little more room at the top. I would be tempted to add some canvas to the top and this would be a killer shot!

Fantastic action, the lichen covered rock & the blue sea are great too.

Would consider toning the whites down ever so slightly.

Super shot, couldn't ask for a better pose. I really like the competing textures in this shot, from the smooth background, to the clean black and white lines of the bird, to the splotchy texture of the rock.

Other than adding a little canvas on the top, this is beautiful image, Bart!!! Congrats.

Love the rock with lichens perch ...
A bit tight still is a nice shot, Bart!

Really cool! A Razorbill wingstretch is something I'm sure I've never seen before. Nice work.

Very, very nice. Tough exposure handled well. Definately not a shot you see every day!
