Judging from the techs, we are travelling light Phil.. :wink:

Now if you would just dump the handful of OoF specular highlights.... :biggrin:

Nice action shot Phil :wavey: :wavey:

Fantastic detail in the birds plumage Phil, procesing looks spot on to me. I don't mind the specular highlights as it is what I would expect to see on the sea. I too love the second bird just appearing through the vegetation and the only minor thing that would improve the image for me is if there was some separation between the end of the Gannets beak and its foot but that really is a minor nit.

Lovely action shot. I like the inclusion of the other gannet in the corner. It really adds to the shot. Highlight are no problem for me. :smile:
