Great shots alun, and to be able to get that close to a Shag is quite something, well done.

Regards john.

Thanks John, I always confuse cormorants and shags.

I sneaked up to it on a boat. Mind you, I did get about 50 shots of various backsides as they dived at my approach!

An effective choice of contrast between the heron (?) and its background too.

Absolutely wonderful. Great DOF.

I gladly welcome C & C's. Being foggy minded they really help me learn.

That's some lens but as Gareth says: you have to be able to use it otherwise it's just an expensive piece of glass!

Two terrific shots. Exemplary work.
