Bempton paid of well for you with this Mike,your Gannet stands out beautifully against that dark sky/sea.Detail and exposure looks spot on,well done.

Mike I am off to Bempton in July - boat in the morning cliffs in the afternoon and if I get such a beautiful image and such quality I will be mighty pleased. I think the colours are as near perfect as you could hope for and the fast shutter speed has rendered great detail. Well done I think it is technically outstanding - just look at the detail in that plumage....and the pose ain't too bad either

[shane shacaluga]

You nailed this one! A typical high wind gannet pose with excellent details and a cracking BG to go with it

Exposure is spot on too

Good one Mike
All been said already. Great exposure and detail.
Will be up there myself shortly and if I get something near this I'll be happy.

Hi Mike, a Gannet in flight pose we rarely see posted, so very well done on nailing this shot. I quite like the semi folded wings, overall well exposed, and your fast ss had given you a very sharp Gannet. Well captured.

[David Cowling]

Wow! This is really good. Exposure, pose and focus all spot on. Wonderful detail on the head beak and eye, in fact wonderful detail all over. Great work.

[William Dickson]

Terrific flight shot Mike, I love the angle and the sense of movement within the frame.

Well done
