For the month's theme I had to dig really deep into my archives for this one. Taken from a zodiac off the shore of North Seymour Island in the Galapagos in 2010, with my early D90. Even ten years ago I knew that shooting black birds in the equatorial sunshine was not ideal, but what are you going to do when the bird flies low over your boat? So close, in fact that I didn't zoom out fast enough, and clipped a wingtip. This is more than full width, with canvas added both sides, plus a bit of wingtip repair.
D90, VR80-400 (the old one) @98mm; ISO 400, 1/2000s @ f/7.1.
