Beautifull picture and great framing, quite correct exposure in a difficult setting. Love the observing Gannet.

Awesome image of this bird taking off from the cliff - as elegant as any professional diver. Well exposed

A super shot Graham. Love the larger version as you really get all the greens on the rocks popping and a great look at the second bird. Hint of cliffs in the BG really adds. Very well done.

A fascinating body position on the airborne gannet.
I'm not sure if you've changed the saturation of the rocks in the sunlight but they look a bit strange. It also looks like you darkened most of the background cliff but failed to include the triangular section between the neck and wing of the subject.

Love the watching gannet, nice sharpness and great catch and contrast. Though it feels a little tight on the right and bottom, like it'd be nice to have a little more space that he's diving into. Nice job.

Graham,
I love this shot! Great composition. It's also nostalgic for me because I remember visiting Bempton many times as a child when we lived in Driffield in the early '70s :)
