Gannet in flight
Not sure about this one - I wanted to try and show the Gnnet with more flight feathers visible - rather than the general streamlined look. Think I may have overblown the whites a little - have tried to reduce this a little in photoshop - but then one loses the brightness!! C and C appreciated.
EOS 40d+canon 400mmf 5./6
Exposure 1/3200
F 7.1
Ap Priority
ISO 320
E - 0.33
White balance - auto

Whites look OK to me.Actualy i was going to say nice exposure :smile:

But IMO you need to add some canvus on the left for him to look into.And maybe a smidgin off the bottom.

Other than that i like it :toast:

Hi Kim
The whites are not far off. Even if you darken it a little it may beef things up a bit. Nice shot though.
I agree with Alan's comments.
Cheers
John

Nice one Kim. Agree with more canvas on the left. Whites look fine to me :toast:

Hi Kim, only the whites on the tops of the left wing seem a bit bright, the rest are fine for me. Just a pity there isn't more of the head in view but you can't pick where they fly! The greyish sky works well as a BG :smile:
