I really like the wing flare position on this shot John. Superb tones make this stand out for me.

I love the way the wing tips echo the appearance of the sea weed, and the way the brown colour links the wing tips, sea weed and feet.

Excellent composition, but on my monitor it looks like you might be loosing detail in the highlights.

Good shot different from the normal Gannet image John

I agree with Phil in that my monitor doesnt show much detail in the whites but I know it is there as I just played with curves

Hi John

Love the pose, composition and soft light - agree it lacks a little detail in the whites, but doesn't detract from the image too much!

Really like this one John.The bright whites don't bother me,in fact I feel they work very well,gives the image a kind of high key,artistic quality.
