Another afternoon down by the pier, and more Gannet action. I got a number of poses I've never got before...here's one I really like. Hope you do too. Minor adjustments in ACR and PS only. Cheers.

Hi Paul ... quite unusual head on flight shot and I like it .
Nice overall color and tones ....
If you have I would move the crop slightly down .... to create a bit more room for the bird at the foot and less above .
Thanks all for the feedback. I tried a number of different crops until I found one I liked...but I'll give your suggestions a go too. Cheers.
Jonathan. The original in camera "auto" white balance rendered the image quite bluish. I warmed the bird up somewhat via "auto colour" in Photoshop...which normally works quite well, and I like how it is here, although I do see a hint of blue on the bird's head.
