My Turn
This guy just had to have his picture taken and hence just have to post it - he literally would not get out of the way until I told him that I had his shot and he was right to go -- LOL.

Hi Mr. Peters,
I like the close up pose...I like the clear sharp eye. The colors are superb. The baby blue background compliments him very well...my only suggestion would be to clone out the oof one in the back of his neck...congrats...:cool:
These guys have great combination of head and eye-ring color.
I really like the texture in the lower part of the image.
Other than clone maybe you can only smudge the edge on the OOF
on the left of the bird.
Cheers, Ilija
Hi Guys - Yes the OOf at the back of the neck is not ideal - but I will get the chance to reshoot at some stage (Would prefer to get it in camera rather than after the fact) :) :) :)
How can I get one of these beautiful birds to come to my feeder setup :) Lovely shot! Agree with the cloning, but agree even more with the desire to get it right in camera ... always seems alot more satisfying that way!
Lance, Beautiful exposure and details! Like the portrait and the complimentary BG!
awesome pose, lance and nice use of the flash too! agree about evicting the back bird and best of luck when you go back out for these guys. cant wait to have a go at these guys too!!
Lots of detail in the whites Lance. Perfect HA. Love the gannets, they are a beautiful bird. Great job (as usual):)
Mr H - Are you planning a trip Down Under? :) :)
Awesome in your face portrait. Love the details you've capture in these Lance.
Lance , I agree with the above, particularly with Jakie, I love those gannets?, and you manage to keep lot of detail on the white feathers.
i wish! maybe one day...i may just move over there!!!Originally Posted by Lance Peters
