Shy Albatross off the south east coast of Australia.
We went on a pelagic last weekend and it was ridiculously calm. So much so that most birds weren't flying at all.

5D3 300/f4 1.4X
ISO 800 f8 1/3200

cheers

Impressive species, and lucky you having it framed. The reflection is amazing, doesn't happen that often I assume. Great shot ! :toast:

Wonderful capture. The smooth deep blue really highlights the subject well.
