Seaweed
Hi to all,

Yet another Bempton Gannet , photographed at the weekend , hope your not getting bored of these because i'll be there again this weekend on my quest for a decent Razorbill shot , personally I like the wing position of the Gannet and seaweed hence the title , thanks for looking.

Converted in DPP / Processed in CS2 (Cropped)

Canon 1D3 , 500F4IS+1.4T/c , Gitzo1325 , Wimberley v2
1/1250th @ F6.3 +2/3rds E/comp iso400 RAW

All comments welcome

Regards

Andy... :smile:

Nice one Andy - I like the posture of the bird in the frame :toast:

If I had the space I might be tempted to crop a bit more off the left to make the tail the same distance from the frame edge as the top wing tip, and add more to the right of the frame so the eye-line of the Gannet was directly into the bottom right corner.

Now that's just me being very pedantic :wink: :wink:

No chance of getting bored Andy,

Great variety of wing-positions etc being posted, and this is particulary 'energetic'.

Seaweed's a great bonus :toast: :toast:

Glad to hear your not getting bored of these , having still not captured a Razorbill shot i'm happy with , and to make sure the 150 mile round trip isn't wasted I have to come away with something and most of the time thats a Gannet shot , thanks for the comments chaps.

A wonderfully dynamic image. Full of energy and quite exceptional. A real attention grabber.
