Hi Pam,

Beautiful picture. Nice composition and details of the bird. I like the colors and out of focus background enhance the scene. Congratulations!!

Best Regards and Merry Christmas!!

Hello Pam,
it is a surprising sight to see a gannet without any sea around. I suppose this bird was about to touchdown. A marvalous sharp and great shot. But to keep the learning part up I'll give my opinion about two postprocessing features:
1. The sky in the left top corner is a severe distrackter. Maybe some cloning (nasty but sometimes effective habit)
2. Don't know whether you cropped it. I personally like a little more space around the bird.
I can't bring up more nits, leaves only space for a big compliment.

Regards, Jacob

Hi Pam,
Very nice picture of this Gannet. I like the pose of the bird very much. Nice wing-spread, colours and a good crop. You captured the bird on the right moment. Compliments.

This is a really great photo. I love this frozen moment! It seams like a grey day but surely being able to take this photo converted it to a bright and glorious day! Fantastic composition and I love the crop.

Thanks for sharing!

Hello Pam,
It's so good and artistic your photo!
You got the bird in focus, with a lot of details, and a lovely light and ilumination over his head.
The DOF brings a very nice landscape as background.
The composition is very good also.
Personally, I would prefer a simpler frame, in order to fully enjoy the great picture.
Congratulations and happy holidays,
JM

Beautiful presentation of this graceful bird! Exposure, focus, and colors are perfect. The dramatic "pose" is a bonus!

Hi Pam

Another terrific in-flight shot of this gannet here from you!
I must say, these birds are really beautiful and i've started to like them a lot eversince i've seen them on TN.
The side POV here is excellent and it provides a good view of the face of the bird. The focus on the head is impeccable and the sharpness is impressive.
Also the DOF is great, the exposure spot-on and the colors charming as usual :)
Very nicly framed and composed, as well.

Bravo, TFS and Happy Holidays
