Those northern gannets are from Helgoland. The camera is Fuji S5 and that gave special colors, more saturated then in real life but i love them anyway. Those birds are so photogenic and while on nest (preparing) you have plenty possibilities to take photos.

Beautiful pose and spectacular color

crop is excellent. This looks like a fine painting. Great work of art.

You might want to paint out the little bit of white approximately one third up the underside of the top bird's neck. Also, IMO, since all the other lines are crisp...I'd paint a crisp edge on the back of the lower bird's body and on the area between their necks... It is too fuzzy for my taste, when compared to the sharp simplicity of the rest of the photo.

This is a fantastic image, very graphic- Perfect timing, wonderful pose and a pretty composition- I wouldn't touch the slightly OOF edges on the lower part of the birds, they give a little of sense of depth- My congrats for this beauty, Fabio

Really interesting graphic lines here Gorazd. I'm fine with the OOF white border behind the necks and think it would look artificial if it were made to look crisp. If this were mine I'd reduce saturation a bit.

Sweet color and bird positions. The OOF BG body line is fine with me. Given the close up nature of the heads and necks, my eye expects that area to be OOF. Colors are OK with me, but a version with a bit less saturation for comparison might change my mind.

Lovely lines and pure simple colors nicely compliment the forms. Super!

Great intimate poses and I like the colors. It's always good to include your equipment and techs in your shot. Good to see you over here again Gorazd.
