    I spent a day out on a sea bird watching trip off Sydney. It was a clear but windy day and there was a decent swell - the boat was rocking around. Cropped from a horizontal frame with the top and bottom of the frame almost full frame.

    I belive this is a Shy or White-capped Albatross.

    Thanks Tom

    Nice banking pose and a good crop. Maybe a little more light on the wings would help it pop a little more?

    Well done considering the challenging conditions!
    I like the full wingspread and the sharpness.
    I agree with Cheryl re: brightening up the wings a bit,

    A great look at this wonderful species. What a fantastic wing spread. I might try just a few points of the "s" part of the s/h tool to bring up the wings.

    The crop works well for the bank. Agree with everyone about brightening up the wings, particularly the lower one.
