    We had 2 pairs of gannets fishing off of our beach over the weekend. They usually stayed quite far out but would occasionally stray fairly near to the beach.

    Nice gail, I envy you people who live where they are, I have never seen one.
    It is plenty sharp enough and low noise, I think a bit larger crop would look nice.
    May be a little lightening of the underside near wing also, if you can do it without losing IQ.

    Hi Gail, Im still waiting for my first image of one of these guys. Ive always liked the detail and colours on their heads. Another vote for taking some off the top. Well captured BTW.
