Gannets[edit]

Two gannets, Morus bassanus

Came across this nicely-composed picture at Gannet. What do y'all think? (I particularly like the sharpness of the birds' heads contrasted with the out-of-focus glints on the water behind. The photographer is commons:User:Michael Haferkamp.)

Comments:

  • Very well composed. Unfortunately, I'm reasonably sure that it wouldn't make it. It's very grainy and blurry. Also unfortunately, the grain/blur is too great to be fixed. Some people might also find the blown highlights in the background water distracting. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 12:14, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Quite nice, but I'm not sure that the backlighting is ideal for this subject. See also Image:Two Gannets edit 2.jpg. -- Solipsist 14:49, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
