made this shot in New Zealand standing on a wobbly boat out of hand with a 5D mkII with a canon 100mm macro lense.

Bird against the mountainess background is very dramatic. Bird is a bit centered for my tastes -- wing spread looks good with the white underwing bordered by black a real standout

Hi Scott,

you are right, I could have cropped about 2cm of the right and the top.
thanks for your comment.

kind regards
Lesley
