Seventy-five percent of the world population of Black-brown Albatrosses breed on the Falkland Islands. The high winds that day on West Point Island allowed lots of fly-bys like this one.

Hi John - Interesting interaction, well captured. Glad to see you've mastered time travel on this trip too . To me there is a very slight blue cast in some of the whites. I also think you could bring out a little more detail in the whites. Nice sharpness. I hope you'll share more from your recent travels. BTW if you have mastered time travel can you let us know what cameras are like in 2103?
Here's my chance to repost and come back to today! I ran the neutral eyedropper in Lr on the light grey on the neck. I think that this did the trick although the change is rather subtle. Thanks Rachel.
The whites were not over-cooked and I am not sure it's possible to extract detail out of the small, flat areas. I'll try.

Color balance can be maddening. I see the slight cast in the whites in the OP but correcting it has made the darks in the wing of the top bird lean toward red, to me. I wish LR/ACR had tools for correcting whites and darks separately.
