Leave it well alone, Tim. It's a great pic as it is. Well done.

I have several exposures. This was the one with coolest wing position,

as you said, no head. There are other exposures, with a lot of
head/beak. I
could try cloning in the head from another frame. Nobody will notice, as
long as I don't say anything in public ;-)
There's not much I can do about the seamark it is sitting at. That's the
place it sits when it is my part of the fjord. It's where it rests and
dries
up.
On second thought, I could try to look them up closer to the sea...
Thanks for doing what you are good at (besides making excellent
photographs), being brutal ;-)

Hello Tim,
To be brutal, the colors and silhouette are pretty cool. The
structure/sign the bird is on is rather overpowering - kind of
diminishes the bird. Also the head on the bird is pointed straight at
us so it looks kind of like his head is cut off or something - would
be much nicer showing a bit of beak.
A nice attempt and certainly worth showing. Keep it up.
