Nice! I think gannets show wonderful interaction. I wonder if a little rotation to get the heads on the same level would work? Not sure though.

Like the composition Guy. Well handled exposure under what looks like difficult light.

Impressive shot Guy and impressive exposure control as Paul mentioned :toast:

Must try and photograph these birds myself this year..

Great pic, I thought the same as Ian bit of counter clockwise rotation to level the heads up maybe!! :toast: :toast:

Hi Guy,

Very nice! I absolutely love these birds! The aerobics they can perform is wonderful! Perfect exposure! Beautiful composition! Well done!

Great shot, Guy, and a fantastic pose captured.

I'd be tempted to try a slightly squarer crop.
