Southern Fulmar in flight
This is a Southern Fulmar seen on the Drake Passage sailing north to Ushuaia. They are often seen following ships along with Cape Petrels. These ocean wanderers are incredibly well streamlined for low-cost flight. Note how the legs are completely tucked up in the feathers.
I cropped, ran some NR on the BG, lightened the eye a little and evened out the BG with the clone tool.
Comments welcome.
