Love the second one, Minimalistic design. Both nicely captured in some harsh light.
Red Arrows, watch out, super Peter. Ed.
So perfect, they look like paintings!

I enjoy looking at these amazing pictures.
I find the subtle salmon colour very appealing, not sure how you do that. Jeff

Puzzled Jeff; where do you see the salmon colour?

On my screen the colours are natural to the adult Gannet. Yellow-buff head with white underside to the body and white wings with black-brown one third to half from tips.
Tail feathers and secondaries white with black-brown at tips.

Does anyone else see colours other than the above?
Sorry, Peter, its just my muddled colour description. Please read:I find the beautifully subtle colour of the gannets' heads very appealing. Kind regards, Jeff

Thanks Jeff, I thought my colour perception might be going awry; like other parts of me Smile
I see no salmon in these pictures ;-)
Love the trio Peter
