Another Gannet shot, it did this pose before taking off, some sort of prayer to the great gannet god I reckon, if I were to leap off a cliff I too would pray.

I'm viewing on a works monitor Tim and the colours on the Gannet don't look quite right. Love the pose and the detail, great perch.

I was expecting the sea colour to be suspected, even though a tad oversaturated this was the colour (maybe caused by light reflecting off the cliffs). The gannet a little yellow perhaps,
again perhaps caused by reflecting light?

very apt title description, I quite like it - I think/I'm not sure. I think for me the sea is a little overpowering & saturated like you say. Otherwise nice pose and well timed.

I like this, the colours work well together and I like the pose/perch

Hi Tim,

The pose is great and the sea, a beautiful colour. Were you in shade? The whites look a little dull? I work at a reservoir and appreciate how the clouds turn the water spectacular colours.

This fella's eye looks a bit strange (no fault of yours). Perhaps it's contact lens is falling out?

Hope to see more!

Hello Tim.

Cracking pose .

When I first opened it I thought it looked strange, but after a while my eyes got use to it and seems fine now.

I like it as it is Tim.

Certainly is a different sea Tim... do feel that the whites could be pushed just that little bit more....
