JAN-VAN-GENT

The weather wasn't too good this morning for the bulbfield fotoshoot, so I have to tease you with another Zoo picture.

This time the portrait of a Jan-van-gent or Northern Gannet. It's not from the same 'nest' as Ejtaan's picture of the Gannets, this one was sitting solitair on a rock and appeared to be pleased to be pictured :-)

Well hope you like it. Hope to post tomorrow a more colourful picture.

PP work:

Shot in RAW. Minor adjustment of brightness and contrast. Cropped -in fact I pictured the whole bird- and converted to JPEG. resized and sharpened. Add frame with text.

Hi Hans,
Thousands of kilometers separate us but we can admire the same birds close to our house!
This close-up on the gannet looks very natural!
Perfect colors and details on the plumage. It is not easy to see a solitair! They are so gregarious.
Congratulations! Annie

Nice portrait, Hans... the eye is razor sharp, details on its beak clearly visible, also on the plumage which is a bit tricky to capture, as white as it is...
I think the background is a bit noisy, though. Due to hi ISO, or to downsizing/jpg compression, I wonder?
Anyway, it's a very nice teaser!

Hallo hans
Prachtig portret van onze Jan.
Gr Jos

Lovely bird portrait - especially with that great blue colour around the eye.
Thanks for sharing
Mark

Hoi Hans,

Mooie scherpe close-up! Het is vandaag weer beter weer voor de bloembollen velden! Lekker zonnetje, maar ik heb helaas andere dingen te doen en de bloembollen velden liggen toch wat verder weg van Eindhoven. ;-)

Groeten!
Dennis
