[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello all,

This is one of the pictures I took on my trip at sea when we were underway from Trondheim to Antwerp somewhere on the North sea,see them quite alot and they are often cruising along with us to see if some fish shows up,this one was passing quite close and I managed to get a descent shot of him,shot was handheld and from an always moving vessel,thats why I used the faster exposure time.

Ha paul,

Mooie strakke foto van deze schitterende vogel. De haarscherpe kop steekt mooi af tegen de blauwe lucht.En het belangrijkste: het oogje is scherp.

groet,
Zeno.

Hele mooie foto! Ik vind deze beesten ook erg mooi moet ik zeggen, maar je hebt hem geweldig vast gelegt op de gevoelige plaat.. ; )

Mooi scherp en helder. Goede keus van uitsnijden

Groetjes Kristies

Interesting pov and very nice portrait Paul. Excellent sharpness and very good colours. I think the composition could be even more interesting if you had rotated the picture a little so hat the bird were looking from one of the corners with a diagonal line.

Regars
