    Jon:

    I like the battle going on. Waves add to the effect. The centered comp works here because all the attention is directed inward at the fish.

    Cheers

    I could see a version with a bit less below, but I like the action of both the battle, and the waves.

    All the action is great here. Both of them have ahold of the fish is cool as well.

    Excellent action, an even tighter crop might be an option.

    Hi Jon, a different Gannet image from the norm, and well done on capturing the action. Whites look good the the Gannets. Where was this taken Jon?

    Hi Jon, a cracking action shot, love it. May be reduce the magenta in the Tint and get some colour back into the sea, you then start to see more detail too IMHO.

    Great action shot Jon!! Looks like an all out brawl. Steves RP sure picks it up so we can see the action a bit better. Well done
