Good sharpness and a nice flight pose. These dynamic gliders are almost as much fun to watch in flight as albatrosses. :) I might add a bit of room at the bottom. The bird has a distinct blue cast - raising the color temperature would fix that. Well done.
Thanks. Currently, I am working on an unprofiled monitor at my desktop....Xrite can't be bothered to support the Optix XR in the Vista 64-bit environment.....there's an irony: my color managed workflow is limited to my notebook!
That said, now looking in my browser (Firefox 3.0 w/ color manage turned on) I'm not sure that it doesn't look a bit magenta to me....one things for sure, there is plenty of blue in the pic!
I've never seen one of these birds, but you've done very well with this image! Great sharpness and underwing detail. The blues look a little too blue on my monitor. Here's a repost with a black point and gamma adjustment, along with a little desaturation. How do you like it?
I like both actually :) Great pose, BG, detail, exposure and colors, sun was starting to get a bit higher than the ideal, but light is very god though. A bit more room at the bottom could help. Congratulaitons!
