Captured during a recent workshop I co-lead with Monsieur Morris. One of those times when everything came together just right. To think I thought I had the worst seat on the boat :)

Great moment captured. Was there a rock in the BG? I like the topside view, light and details. Is the grayish spot on the forehead water? I might give it a bit more room at the left.
Beautiful timing and a great capture. Love the wonderful contrasting colors of the BG and the Gannet. Seeing the topside is always a wonderful bonus.and the exposure was right on. Well done Chris.
Love the spectacular wing position, the sharpness, and the BKGR (cliff reflections). The wing slicing the water is a huge plus. I could not even come close to getting one of these in the frame as the birds came from every angle and were super-fast, and too, too close.
