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

Excellent gannet shot! Great detail in the whites and as you say, that piercing look. A picture of speed and focus to be proud of.
Stunning clarity – congratulations.
Oh my goodness, what a stunning shot. I’m bowled over. That eye is amazing – well the whole shot is amazing. Bravo.

Positively amazing. You nailed it!!! MB
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!
Normally I don’t use this cliche, but this photo makes it new again: you nailed it! I love the clarity and all the detail.
O yes, this must be one of your best Lachezar!
