Shy Albatross image taken at sea over continental shelf out from Port Fairy, Victoria, Australia.

Nikon D800E
AF-S 200-400mm f/4G VR IF-ED^ with TC-14E II, 550mm
HH
ISO 400, 1/3200 sec at f/5.6
Cropped tighter on head; removed some specular highlights on the bill, eye, and ocean; Topaz Clarity and Glow filters at low strength & opacity to bring out feather detail.

^ A rental, not my normal lens. Not recommended for pelagics; too heavy, hard to autofocus at 400mm end.
