Hi Phil,

Too close eh! :cool: Beautiful flight capture! If you can add canvas to the left then adding a touch to the right and bottom wouldn't be any bother!

Nice image Phillip, hope to see some of these soon my self. Nice to see a young bird for a change.

Nice sharp shot - watch this space as I think there'll be some other Gannet pics on here soon.

Speak soon.

Great sharp detailed shot. I much prefer the action shots, adds another difficulty to overcome. This is a first class example.

Very nice. If I'd tried that so close up I'd have ended up probably with the back 1/3 of the bird. Great detail too.

Just a bit too tight in the frame really, but a lovely crisp detailed image all the same, these sub adult plumaged birds look so nice too!
I was also at Bempton yesterday with Andy Darrington!

At least being this close shows up the feather detail really well. Fine shot.

That's some great detail Phil and always think gannets' heads are such strong subjects, but would prefer bit more space on the right. Suppose ths difficulty is that you'd lose the symmetry whilst perhaps not being able to add enough for it to fly into :smile:
