The far wing position is not the best but the rest of the image is excellent.

[MohsenVahedipour]

Very sweet. Excellent light & BG.

[Dave Johnson]

Really like this Mervyn. He's just hanging in the air! The two-tone sea-sky bkg is awesome. Nice and sharp with good exposure on the gannet. TFS.

Mervin a wonderful image! I love the play with the color transition on the neck and the background. Those gradients are what make it for me!

The layered BG is interesting, IQ is fantastic
the pose is fantastic.
Exposure is nice too

[Daniel Cadieux]

Nice BG, good exposure, lots details. I'm not a fan of the far wing, especially that it crosses the bill, but I like the colours and near wing.

[Arthur Morris]

Superbly sharp with a lovely background. The bill/far wing merge is problematic. A crop from the bottom would better balance the composition. EXP spot on and light is lovely.

Beautifully exposed shot, the Whites look great. Nice sharpness,
