Another gannet from NZ -- the BG here is water and the cliffside. I don't normally like clipped wing type shots but I liked how you can see the feathers getting lifted by the landing. Minor edits, slight crop.
Tack sharp and a very unique POV. exposure on whites is good.
Lighting is very dramatic and I like the play of shadows and light.
I wish the eye was completely lit up.
I am not a lover of this type of crop- i always wish I could see the whole wing. But having said this I think I would take a bit off the top to eliminate the black part of the wing and match it up to the all white wing,
