    Default Angry gannet

    I really enjoyed seeing this beautiful birds diving at they're prey. The always look really angry when they are cathing a prey, i really like that. It was very hard to capture, they were as fast as lighting.

    Very sharp, and I like the open bill and dangling feet. Do wish the head was turned slightly towards us and the lower wing a little more extended.

    Nice action pose and well captured with good exposure Thijs. I don't mind the the head angle too much with this pose.TFS.

    Awesome pose. The intense look and the open bill add to the drama.
    Such cool dangling webbed feet; speaking of which, there seem to some blotches by the bird's left foot. I find it a tad tight in the frame; probably a matter of personal preference. Thanks for sharing.

    this one doesn't work for me, bird's head is turned away, wing positions are flat and too tight on the upper right.
