    Popped up to the Gannet colony yesterday to see how the season was going - a long trip for dull light and wind and rain, but at least it meant the birds were giving some interesting landing poses

    The way the bird is splayed out is nice. Details look great. The darker grey background compliments the bird well.

    he is "a dirty boy"!
    Nice wing spread, I just wish his head was angled towards us.
    Nice and sharp and I like the grey BG.
    There seems to be a lot of color noise under the wings.

    One of the best subjects there is... Nice flight pose and details.
    It is a bit noisy...
