Nice cropping. A bit of motion blur perhaps, but a very unique and interesting image.

You have transformed this bird merely by zooming in on him. He is all lines and shapes and yes, emotion. Our emotion, of course. 9

I love ganets!
They've always been my favourite sea bird.

Nice details on the feathers on the head. Really tight shot.

Beautiful shot. Wonder if in post processing you darkened the back ground, seems to be a slight halo around parts of the bird, but just a minor thing. good luck.

Interesting image. The lines draw my eye out of the image though.
