Sweet flight shot, Rob. Excellent detail and look at the eye. No complaints here.

Yes, lights not perfect but you got pretty good detail on the head and eye. Still a very good shot that I would like to have. How big is the giant petrel?

G'day Robert
Giant Petrels are about the size of the smaller albatross

Good one - sea is nicely blurred.

Very well done, great job on the exposure, sharpness and I like the background.

Love the wingspan, excellent detail and the rolling waves add a lot to the image.
