Laysan Albatross

One of the wonderful thing about Albatrosses is their ability to soar.  Unfortunately, I didn't get any good shots with the waves as a background, but I did like the typical wing position of this one.  In the original frame the bird was a bit low and to the left, so I rearranged the sky to more suitable proportions by adding a touch on the bottom, taking a fair amount off the top and adding to the quite a bit on the left.

7D2, Sigma 150-600 Contemporary @ 600 mm, f/6.3, 1/6400, iso 320, manual exposure.  Processed in LR5 & CS6.  Taken at Kaena Point on Oahu, Hawaii, 10:29 AM on January 18th.

Your comments and criticisms are always appreciated.
