    Hi Jon, excellent perspective here, and with good eye contact. Well exposed, and I like the shape of the wings. Maybe a bit off the top, but still very well captured.

    Wonderful, and somewhat unusual, look at this Gannet. Good exposure and I love the eye contact. Yes, I could imagine either a little off the top, or the bird moved higher in the frame.

    Hi Jon,

    Gannet looks great against the blue waters - good details in the blacks and the whites.

    Like Stu and Bill, above, I could see the bird higher and "lefter" in the frame.

    I'm looking forward to getting some Gannet images in Ireland in four weeks time! Can hardly wait!

    Best wishes, Gerald

    Awfully fun pose and perfectly exposed. Love how the gannet pops against that dark background. I would move it a bit farther into the left top corner.
