Passing Grass

[Mike Landwehr]

This pair of Gannets was photographed on Bonaventure Island. I did a little work on the eyes, cleaned up one beak, and applied NIK Tonal Contrast at 50%. All C & C would be appreciated!

Very nice Mike, I love the expressions on the gannets faces. Its looking good

You get bonus points for a great title!!
I love the IQ and pose and detail on the right bird.
I also like the diagonal lines in the image.
I would crop this a bit differently because I don't like where the left bird is cut off. It seems too tight. Do you have more room at the bottom?

very nice, agree with gail for maybe more room on the left.

I like the interaction and behavior, good exposure. I would sharpen them more. TFS

Very cool interaction shot. The feathers on these birds are so smooth they always look like they are made of porcelain when I see portraits like this. Very nice.
