Love the overall exposure, banking angle, framing, and BKGR, Fabs - a wonderful memorable image. Would wish for a little better eye contact, wonder if a gentle upward tweak of exposure on the lores and eye might help. This one in print would grace anyone's wall!

Wonderful flight pose Fabs and a killer BG to set this beauty off. Love the composition and excellent exposure. A definite keeper and my only wish would be that it was mine my friend !!!!!

Those images of gannets get me every time! This is striking and the exposure is brilliant. I love that you can almost make out the BG but nothing pulls your eye away from that beautiful gannet!

Great pose, details and BG. I might lighten the BG a tad but like it as is.
