Great shot. My eye goes to the Gannet looking towards us!
Werner Padarin replied:
Thank you Marie - yes, that guy at the front is a bit of a distraction, but I didn't want to crop him out because I wanted to show as much of the colony as possible - as I remember, he did catch my eye and I took a shot of him, see: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/on-guard-werner-padarin.html

Fabulous flight photo of Gannet coming in for a landing with the flock on the beach, with great timing, perspective, light, clarity and composition, Werner! Wonderful job! F/L
Werner Padarin replied:
Thank you for those very kind comments Morris! You might be interested to know that this colony is up on a little plateau, immediately beyond the furthest off birds is a steep cliff down to the sea.
