Surprised to see about 30 Gannets among the many species of birds feeding at Sebastian Inlet. No sunlight!

Very good capture, Layton, being in the right place at the right time :)
I think a contrast boost may bring more light to the whites and darken the blacks. Not crazy about wing position but head is very sharp. There's a slight halo in the underside border of the bird.
I like the angle and it's always a treat to see these birds. Adding to Fabs' comments, I would prefer more eye contact, which can be a bit tricky with this species.
Hi - Love Gannets - always find flight shots a challenge, as Axel mentioned eye contact is hard to get.
Think i would go and set a white and black point and start from there - a contrast boost would improve - IMHO :)
