Great effort to get 3 of them Alan. I see plenty of pairs but no more than that. Lovely POV and colours. I'm a bit puzzled as to what the bright white circle behind the centre bird - maybe from PP? Bit of fringing on the right hand side of the rock - easily fixed

Very interesting rock, worth a composition on its own.

Thanks for the feedback Greg. Photo was taken towards the rising sun, just behind the rock. Fringing noted - thanks - will attend to it - details are important - I'm getting slack

Happy to help a fellow tog and artist Alan. I usually remove the fringing with the clone tool (soft brush) set to DARKEN and in this scenario, would sample the blue sky area just to the right of the halo and simply run down the edge over the fringed part. Like magic, it disappears. Here's a quick tut which may explain it better.
