Marmite Gannet.
Yeah - I know its a marmite shot! just experimenting with the Gannets at Bempton yesterday. I spent a few hours trying to get this sort of shot and have lots of similar ones, and the delete button on my camera is now worn out! :toast:

I don't like marmite, but I like this shot :smile:

Really conveys the sense if speed! Nice one Tim.

Great shot!

The bird really stands out with that background!

Technically very well executed indeed, but for reasons that I cannot put in words, it's not working for me. Maybe the background is just too whacky - hurts my eyes :eek: Post some more though!

I like Marmite, but like this even more! Very difficult to get anything of a Gannet that hasn`t been done before, but this is a standout shot, IMO. Very well visualised and executed!
