Is it possible to get a more disdainful look from a bird? :frown:

Not the most electrifying of shots - just thought the glance said it all!

More vile lighting :mad:

D2Xs
200-400f4 @ 280mm
ISO 200
1/1000 @ f5.6 -0.7EV

LR2 (NO HL Recovery!!!!)

LoL Andy... good to see no HL recovery....

Great expression from the bird...

Is it possible that your monitor luminance is out a little? On my recently calibrated and profiled system it looks like the whites can be pushed a touch more.... there again it could be the compression looking at the larger version...

All the best

Does that look better Phil - guess who'd pressed the auto-reset button on his monitor then :confused:

Are there any homes for senile photographers down your way - if there are try and reserve me a place as I won't be long :biggrin: :biggrin: :eek: :eek:

I think I've finished messing about now Phil - artefacts gone :wink:

There must be a twin-room berth Phil - we can go halves-ees :biggrin:

If I get any worse I'll start dribbling :biggrin:

Great title, made me laugh. The expression on the bird's face really says it all.

Hahaha! Great image. The title to your post says it all.

That Gannet makes flight look good!

Love the title, the look is rather disdainful or one could interpret it as enjoyment on the part of the bird :wink: :wink:

Whichever it is, and I'll err on the side of enjoyment as I don't know you to say the other is true I like the image :biggrin:

Nice image and apt title. I have been away where I saw lots of things for the first time, Gannets being one of them, no shots but this will make up for I, thanks !
