I too wanted to movie frame my entry. I opted out. NG might have a black border below the image for text, but not top and bottom. Having said that, this type of shot is very common in NG. I battled to determine how sharp it was, even looking at it on 3 different monitors. I think it isn't as crisp as it could be, we are spoiled on DPC, but I don't think it is OOF or blurred, just maybe need a higher s/s. Still the sky is natural, the busy colony activity is interesting and it could be used in conjunction with a story.

Really nice! There's a huge gannet colony in Newfoundland too. I love going there to take pictures but don't go often, it's a long drive.
