Gannet

Description

My Christmas present came the day after Christmas - hundreds of Northern Gannets were hunting off of the jetty at Barnegat. This is a bird that I've been wanting to get photos of; I've only ever seen them through scopes from far away since this is a sea bird. A few came close to us for some nice photo ops - this one floated near us and took off at the right moment.

Very pretty! Wonderful capture in perfect moment. I love how the wings are spread and that the splashes of water are perfectly frozen. I think it might look a bit better if it was more saturated or if you bumped the contrast a bit more. It would add more dynamics. Still, I like it very much and I think I spent 5 minutes enjoying every little detail :)
