2009 favourite

Posted on 15 January 2010

I’ve been after this piercing eye for years and hundreds of discarded photographs. This year I finally captured it.
And that’s why this is my 2009 favourite shot. A Gannet carrying weed for its nest at the Muriwai Gannet colony.

Today is theme day for the Daily Photo community: The 2009 favourite shot

    One can see how this would have been a Holy Grail for you, Lachezar. The result is astounding in clarity, in colour, in composition.

    Bravo!
