This is rally beautiful, Dan. These sorts of shots only work in overcast, and you really nailed it with the setting and colors. I agree the bird...

I think this is the best gannet frame you've posted. The subject bird is doing something interesting, is well exposed, and is razor sharp and the...

Super fun pose. Glad to hear you were able to salvage something. If you haven't already pushed it, I would suggest a touch more sharpening. But you...

Soft colors are really lovely, Joe. My issue here is that the two birds don't really tell a story, and the IQ isn't gonna hold up it you try to crop...

Now that is dynamic! Face is sharp, and the thrown wings impart a tremendous sense of motion. Exposure, color balance, and detail all look great to...

That's a fantastic pose, Paul. Being able to see all the colors, including the blue undertail is a real treat. Head angle and open are fantastic, and...

This is pretty hard Paul so well done .I have the same gear; but the AI and 200/600 lens now as well ,and am finding that the 500 d +pf gets me...

Very nice Ian! I know how difficult it is to get these in flight...let alone a great pose such as this. Love the pastel/graduated style BG here too.

Looks great to me Dorian. Love the overall composition. maybe a degree or two more head turn? I'm also fine with the bands.

Hi Joseph. Got to love this composition. I love the pastel colours here and the reflections. If it were mine i'd get rid of the black dots on the...

Agree with the positive comments made here. Just goes to show how this type of composition works so well. yes to the bird being a bit sharper.

Beautiful Andreas! Love the overall composition.

Very nice Bill. Good contrast between the blue/greys and the greens behind. Seems to be sharp right on the eyes. So the camera is picking this up at...

Hi Will. Certainly worth the wait! I know from experience how long you have to wait to get these guys to pose for you. Love the pose, BG and...

Hi Bill. Congrats on this one, which I like very much. Nice and sharp where it counts, lovely contrasting BG too. I'm so ready for a change to the...

A beauty of an environmental shot. Love the way the yellow stands out. I see Andreas' point: this seems a bit similar to many of my recent yellow...

Hi Andreas, thank you for viewing and commenting. I can understand that the image doesn't grab you, it's not everyone's cup of tea. It's different,...

Nice one Dan, comedic/philosophical so no techs crit needed.

Agree with William nicely balanced with lovely colour

Very nice Kurt....what a setting....Great timing to get the chick facing the adult with open bill....This crop and comp works for me....I like the...

I'm on the same fence... :w3 ....This is perfecto Brian....wouldn't change a thing....The colours and contrast look real good showing very nice...

All looks good here...great pose perch and subject and the BG sets it off perfectly.... Will

Very, very nice Dan.....As Andreas said..a good example of small in frame....The DOF on the flowers looks real good, as does the colours...

Very nice Andreas, and pleasing to the eye.....It reminds me of the Bass Rock....I like how you got all the birds on the rock, facing in that...

Well, there you go, we are on the same fence and it's all good:bg3:
