Way up on the north western edge of the Languages Peninsula in Iceland on a bone chilling day with howling winds and an occasional snow squall this past May, I captured this Gannet headed back to to a nest on a tall rock tower. C&C welcome.
D500, Sigma 150-600mm C @ 600mm, 1/2500s, f 6.3, ISO 2000, Hand Held.
This is such a moody image. I love the rough sea in the background and the snow (?). Wish for a better HA though. Overall the image seems slightly dark, although that might be the effect that you're going for.

Good exposure on the blacks here Geoffrey but I suspect there's more feather detail to be had from tweaking the white exposure. It must be fun shooting in that environment.
Apart from wishing the gannnet was more towards the right edge I'm really liking this one a lot, "bad" head angle and all. As others have pointed out, this has really good mood!
