Northern Gannet

This frame and the adjacent show different individuals captured under similar circumstances. The poop-covered cliff behind was shadowed by a massive rock formation, but there was a narrow sliver of sunlight through which the birds had to pass to reach their nests. Exposing for the white gannet, I teased some contextual detail out the shadows in post-processing. I think this frame is a fairly accurate picture of the end-of-day scene.
