Northern Ganett

[Karl Egressy]

Just came home from Gaspe, Quebec last night.
The weather was changeable.
The first day no boat went to the Island due to stormy weather.
The second day was good and the third day was too bright and the Captain of the boat decided not to leave until 10 AM for some reason, that was not nice at all.
We still had fund.
Thanks for looking.

Very nice shot! Excellent sharpness and detail. Exposure looks good despite the slight hot areas on ther back. I see what looks like cloning marks top left.

Stunning image with great details. I find it a bit tight in the frame , but just my taste. It is still steller.:bg3:

Thanks Ofer.
I cloned out a couple of white spots from the lighter blue (sky). The darker blue is the water.
Those white spots were distant fly-by birds.
At any time there were maybe hundreds of birds in the air, which makes Bonaventure Island a BIF shooter's paradise.

Beautiful Image !!

Great detail with a nice background.

It's just a bit tight for my taste but that's just personal preference.

[Gary Esman]

That eye and the background is perfect.

Sharp as only the 300 2.8 can do, Karl! :bg3:
Love the pose and angle.

[Mike Tracy]

Nicely exposed and the colors all work together well here. For a man made perch I like it for the texture it adds.

The areas you removed the birds are too noticeable.

Nice preening pose and great details in the bird. I do love the blues in the BGD too.
