    Hi Andreas, looks good to me, interesting image. Details, wing position, head position, color and background all work well together. I noticed you used the 1 DX, wondered where your R camera was... thank you for sharing.

    Thanks Joe ... R3 was in the bag with the 70 - 200 attached

    First intensive shooting with the 1Dx III since I bought it in 2020 , as this was the first photography trip since Covid arrived .

    Good to see a gannet flying toward us. Nice light and sharp, but with the head turned away the bird's eye is close to invisible ...

    Thanks Arthur ... next time I will tell them to look at me, instead of the possible breeding partner ..... not sure if they listen to me

    Andreas, quite a nice incoming pose. The seaweed adds a good bit to it.

    You did very well to get some decent dof with that somewhat shorter lens! Colors look very nice and clean.

    Frankly, I don't think I would have processed this one just due to lack of eye contact. That said, I can't fault you for doing so.

    Thanks Brian ... I am fully ok with you and others reservation regarding the eye contact , but as I said to Arthur ... they just look down shortly before landing .

    Cheers Andreas
