How longs a piece of string........well, kelp really
Gannet, flying with nesting material, not one of the usual full frame shots I normally post, thought I'd try one thats a little smaller in the frame, not sure if the comp works on this so any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks for looking.

Processed in DPP / CS2 Slight crop for comp

1D3, 500F4IS+1.4T/c, Gitzo, Wimberley

Looks good to me. The trailing kelp gives a feel of speed.

Very nice!
I think this would work very well as a black and white too.

Great stuff, nicely composed. Has that extra interest over the standard flight shot and it does show the movement well. :toast:

Yep works for me too, there is a bit of a dark patch just in front of the top(right) wing that catches my eye, clone stamp perhaps? or sensor dust?

And the only real answer I know to "how long is a piece of string" is, twice the distance from the center to one of its ends. :razz:

Thanks for the comments guys, always appreciated :toast:

Hi Danielle, not sure what the dark blob is ??? it's not a clone stamp, could be dust.

Best regards
