Hi neighbor,

Excellent sharp focus in flight. This is definitely top drawer image with such sharpness and excellent details. Flawless framing from higher ground and you have managed the exposure really well. Awesome post and well done indeed, Janice.

Warmest regards,
Jusni

Claudine

Hi Janice!

The bird and the picture as well are superb. especially like the particular point of view that changes from the blue sky we often see. The details of the bird are magnificent and the picture highlights the aerodynamical aspect at best. Moreover, the lighting - certainly not easy with the contrasted colours - is perfect.

Kind regards

Hello Janice,
Very long wings. I wasn't aware they were so long. Strange aspect ratio as the width is rather small. I agree it's not only aerodynamic (I think:) but it is also beautiful.
Thanks for sharing

Hy Janice
Yes, indeed, gannets and albatrosses are masters of flight!This picture shows perfect the caracteristic of this kind of birds: the big wings comparing with the body.

A beautifully executed capture of this natural "planeur" from the best possible POV Janice, very detail revealing sharp take indeed against a blurry, darkish BG. It really has a very aerodynamic shape, except for that out-sticking left foot, I'm afraid...
Cheers,

Janice,

It has been a few days since I have visited my favorite New Zealand photographer, but I am glad I am back. I love this shot.

First, the POV is great. It is not often that we are able to see the top side of birds in flight.

The lighting and and DOF is just right to catch the full wingspan of the beautiful bird.

Since we don't see this guy where I live, I want to thank you for sharing with us.

Take care - bob
