This was taken on my way back to work last Friday. I think I should have taken a white balance before starting :-(

54s of the southern part of Lundy Island

Many happy returns, Grant. That's closer than 99.9% of us will ever get to Lundy so please keep the pictures coming.

What Camera were you using?
And did you use a polarizer filter? You might try a polarizer filter next to remove the glare, reflection from the canopy glass.
I was a victim of that situation, I did'nt place my filter on the lens, live and learn.
Great shot!!!

Hi Richard,

This was shot with an XL2 with the 20x lens. Thanks for the tip about the filter. I'm on the mainland next week so I'll have to get one. (And it also means 2 more helicopter flights)
