    This early morning shot of a northern gannet taking flight with a beak full of kelp was taken from a small boat near St. Bonaventure Island on an overcast morning with dark cliffs for background. All C & C welcome.

    Mike,

    Great shot. Nice and sharp. I like the light subject against the dark background.

    Very nice action, love the white and black, and the brownish "oily" waves at bottom are pretty neat. I am glad you kept the stray feather there. Solid image!

    The still floating feather VS the bird in flight. Great shot.

    Mike this is awesome! I do wish the back wing and face didn't intersect, but this is one of the best images I've seen on here in a while. I love the spray, dark water, and floating feather.

    well done!

    Excellent action. I like the white feathers over dark BG & water splashes.
