Northern Gannet with Nesting Material

[Karl Egressy]

I keep going back to my Gannet shots for two reasons:
I like bird very much and right now there is nothing to shoot around.
Just for your info; the blue was not boosted. It was like this.
Thanks for looking.

Hello Karl

I love the colours here and the weed in the beak. Some might find it a bit tight in the frame, but I like it as it is. A nice wing position captured but I think you could use a bit more sharpening.

Nice fly-by pose, and I like the "sea" feel to the image. Although the blue of the ocean was as is I'd still be tempted to tone it down some. I like the nesting material, just wish the eye wasn't partially covered by it. Agree with another round of sharpening for web display.

Daniel took the words right out of my mouth (or mind!!)
