Quite a striking portrait Andreas and I like the warmth of the backdrop, makes a nice change. The light looks quite strong, but well handled. As an alternative I might go more pano, with less below.
Andreas- I like the BG in this- reminds me of my red sandstone quarry where i do my pool stuff. Nice suble tones on the head too.. Maybe the time of year.
Good stuff.

Hi Andreas, this is not a "simple portrait of a Gannet" - its a very, very good portrait of Gannet. Love the IQ and colours on the face, and of course, the colour of the BG makes him pop so well. Congrats on a fine image.
