I had a wee trip to Troup Head today, which is the only mainland gannetry in Scotland. I managed to capture this image, along with a few hundred more .
Thanks for having a look and any advice, as always is greatly appreciated.

Not your blasted seashore again , !! Grrrrrr
Spot on- maybe a sliver off left and a small addition to top -no big deal.

Hi William, well exposed, and I like the texture of the plumage. Comp wise, Im fine with the space on the left, but agree with a touch more on top, and bit more on the right.

very nice William,good exposure,the detail and sharpness bang on,nice pose.

Advice - keep em coming William! Lovely shot I really like the exposure colours and detail. I suppose we could ask for a very slight head turn, I think I would add just a little bit more sky to the top for beautiful the gannet may be I think it is just a wee bit large in the frame.

Good work William, I like this one very much. I agree with the others re adjusting the frame a bit but still a great capture. Cheers, Ian.

Awesome texture and details on the white feathers. A bit tight in the frame overall, but not by much...a bit more top and right (and perhaps bottom too as the foot is low down there) would certainly work well.
