Taken at the colony at Cape Kidnappers, New Zealand.

While I had my eye glued to the viewfinder I became aware of unrest in ranks. When I looked up, I was reminded that I'm in New Zealand!



This pic is begging for a caption...

Re: Gannets

Beautiful birds Dave and i love the DOF used here, just enough detail in the background to let you know whats there.
Lol..2nd Image, like the format used and its certainly original.

The main picture is a stunner.

The colours make this stand out.

Re: Gannets

Really like the opener. Like the way the background shows the context.

I can see the stereotypical comments - too many bright highlights, too distracting, blah blah blah. :-) But this works for me.

Re: Gannets

Thanks everyone for the comments. I'll be going back again this summer in an attempt to get some shots on the wing.
