Front on view of the gannets beak, its a whopper.

I like those eyes and colorful cheeks. I have to admit I can't tell it has such a large beak from this perspective but I'll take your word for it. Quite an intriguing portrait.

I love the expressiveness of this tight shot with one eye half-closed. I can almost imagine that the bird has a boxer's attitude. The color is great as well. There are some angular lines in the background that seem a little out of place. I'm not sure what may have caused them, but I'd expect they are an easy fix if you wish to.

That is some scary bird--looks like something from a 50's sci-fi film or something!
As mentioned, some color noise in back, but this is quite a fun entry!
