Another from Kaikoura. If you ever go to NZ an albatross encounter is an absolute must.

Nice image with a great background, looks a little blue to me, but a lovely image none the less.

nice. the background is welcome. not always possible in marine images. however i find it a little strong in relation to the foreground, detracting from the subject. nice image nontheless.

Great shot, I really like the detail in the background, a bit different to the usual, though I'm not sure I like the wingtip behind the wave.

Nice shot of an amazing bird Craig. The lower wingtip does look a little odd as it blends into the water. Might crop out the white cloud top right as being pale like the albatross it competes a bit

This one reminds me of some paintings of my grandfather.
Great shot. May be a little too blue, but not a problem for me.
