Gannet fly by

Another Gannet from the weekend, this one came a litte too close for it's own comfort and when it spotted me it started banking sharply to the left, really liked the pose and the eye contact on this one, thanks for looking.

DPP / CS2 ( Full frame )

1D3, 500F4IS+1.4T/c, Gitzo, Wimberley
1/2000th @ F5.6 -1/3rd E/comp iso400

All comments welcome

As you say Andy, nice eye contact and I like the positioning of the wings. It's a shame about the shadow cast by the wing but at least it hasn't covered the eye.

A very nice flight shot, imho I think the shadow cast adds to the presentation.

Nice flight shot. Shadow isn't a problem for me.

Thankyou to those who took the time to comment on this, though I have to say I'm a little disapointed that only six people have, I thought this was a very nice shot of a Gannet, not to everybodies taste I guess.

I think it is a nice image of a Gannet too... don't worry about lack of comments sometimes things get in the way, been very busy with little or no time to look closely let alone comment....

Like this shot Andy, the positioning and tilted head tell the story perfectly :smile:
