Northern Gannet

[Grace Scalzo]

Wish I was good at thinking of titles. :w3 The IDX is a marvel....I was photographing in 20 mph steady winds gusting to 30, with a 2x teleconverter, and I am deleting images because I don't like them, not because they are out of focus. Just an amazing tool.

Love the feel of this one. I almost feel as though I am next to you watching him soar. Good comp and the splash really works to your advantage.

Nice capture. I like the white bird against the blur water. The white cap balances the images well.

This is a really cool image, Grace, - says so much about the Gannet and it's environment. Like it a lot!

Thanks for sharing.

I like this composition, plenty of space to evoke the feel of the habitat.

Nice capture.

Excellent - I am a big fan of environmental shots, this is really nice.

Ditto all the comments above, Grace. I'm thoroughly enjoying the environmental feel of this. Exposure, sharpness and comp are spot on too.

Beautiful image Grace! I like the composition, wave, exposure, sharpness and setting.
