This has it all. Great dynamic pose with raised wings and foot; nice fish; water splash. Well exposed with good detail in the whites. Nicely done!

[Daniel Cadieux]

Pretty neat. I love the way the fish is lined up in the gannet's mouth. Good splashing action too.

Wonderfully expressive image Jon, the tens all look terrific and i like how the gannet is smiling extra wide with his catch, not so happy for the fish though. love the feet of a gannet and you did well here with that!

super nice image great flight shot good exposure!!!

[gail bisson]

This is excellent.
I have never seen a gannet image with a fish so large in the beak. Were you throwing fish?
Like the visible feet.
Whites and exposure spot on,

Thanks for the feedback everyone much appreciated. Gail, yes the skipper throws mackerel out for the birds.

Another good gannet action shot Jon. I like how it appears that the gannet is walking on water.
