Hi Dave, Great pose and well captured. Nice details. Exposure looks good, but the light angle shades the face and eye slightly. If this were mine, I would play with S/H a bit to see if some more lighten up the shaded side of the face. I would also try a more pano crop that eliminated the gravel beach(?).
Just my two cents. Nicely shot!
Cheers!

Super image Dave. Love the pose of the bird with good exposure and details on the whites. Just wish the sun caught the eye just a tad.

Ditto on eliminating the lower gravel. Beautiful capture. Sharp and well-exposed. You did well keeping the whites.

Great work with the whites and beautiful pose from the gannett. I would also try a panoramic frame to emphasize the action and cut the bottom part!!

Hi Dave, I was waiting for these images, and you havent dissapointed. Lovely landing posture, and I like the sharp underwing detail. Overall, well exposed, and I really enjoy these sea BG's with the breaking surf. Lamberts Bay???

I kind of like the gravel, knowing the bird's coming in to land. It gives a good anchor point IMHO. Anyways, I think the angle of light is more of the issue coming from the wrong direction. Still, a noble catch regardless. Thanks for sharing... ... ...

Thanks akos, appreciated. I think you are correct but had no choice on light direction here.
