A+++ Great composition and timing, plus detail. I have this lens, but never seem to squeeze out of it all that you do. Like.

You really DID have fun with those gannets didn't you! This one's a wonderful composition.

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Thank you all for your positive comments.
I don't think I've ever taken so many photographs in such a short period, it was a lovely trip. I didn't even realise how large Gannets are with approximately a 2 metre wingspan.
