High Key Pair [in Explore]

I've always liked high key images and wondered if I could create one. This pair were on the cliff at RSPB Bempton a few days ago and my image was slightly overexposed, which gave me the idea. I love this one but still can't shake my obsession with detail, perhaps the heads could have been softer in facial markings? I do love the symmetry of these billing displays.

This colony on the towering chalk cliffs is the biggest on mainland Britain and we visit every year. These birds mate for life and reaffirm their bonds on meeting up to breed each year.

What a lovely surprise to find this in Explore today! Your kind comments and favourites are greatly appreciated but thank you for just looking. You've all made this a wonderful day.
