Simple and effective. The rock, with all it's colours and textures, pulls the eye away from the monochrome bird, though - IMO.
Still a very nice image.

I really like the composition here - simple, but effective.

Hi Ian

Nicely composed image and love the colours in the lichens - who carried your 600 f/4 for you.

Very nice shot Ian. Unusual composition. I bet it was a slog carrying the 600 in the snow as well! :redface:

Thanks,

Paul.

This looks a little 'HDR" to me somehow (am not a fan), but everything else is spot on.
