Bempton gannet
I'll be the first to admit that cliff top gannets at Bempton do not represent one of the greatest challenges in wildlife photography, but I was pleased with this one. The shot does show that Yorkshire had at least one sunny day this summer.

Thanks for looking.

Hi David, a classic shot for sure and nice to see the wing spread. I agree with Neil that there is a halo around the bird, albeit slight, but guess it's through the sharpening mask, easily fixed.

Thanks for the comments. You are right about the halo. Light was against me and I had to use quite a lot of fill in the conversion from RAW, which is what I guess caused it.
