modest Northern Gannet

Thanks for looking and comments

very beautiful. great focus and light

As Mary said, great detail and light. If I might be nit picky for a moment, you may want to try and tone down the bacground branch coming from the bill to the right edge just a touch. It seems a bit distracting. Again it's nit picky and only my personal preference. Great shot !

Thanks David and Mary.

David, I already toned it down quite a bit. maybe I should have gone a bit further. cheers, Hans

... good light colors details and composition ...

I'd love to see one of these fascinating birds "in person". Great bird portrait.

Excellent exposure,detail, and pose.

WOW, excellent

Wow, gorgeous photo.

 

Love the lighting and muted color.

 

I can almost feel the texture of the feathers.

 

Probably a common pose for the species, but it makes a unique composition.
