Very interesting and different shot. I would like to know some of the details. Were you in a boat or in the water? Was this taken with a remote? How did you get the bird to approach so close? Just curious.

Great perspective! I would like to know some more details too. Is 10-20 suitable for the 1D camera?

Regards

Doesn't look shy to me at all, it looks like it is expecting a handout of fish. Great low angle, water color and sky.

Cool. I would like the tip of the bill to be sharp, but that is a nit on a unique image.

Great to see you over here Craig, really cool shot, I'd like it even more if the beak were in sharp focus too. I went out in Kaikoura years ago before I was into photography and had a great time watching the seabirds at close range, your post brings back memories. :cool: :toast:
