Terrific! I love the colors and tones in this, and the composition is excellent.

This is really cool Simon

I like the head on angled flight position of the Albatross. And, I think the background cloud formation really adds drama to this image. Sweet Photo!!!

Excellent, Simon. I've found albatrosses to be surprisingly tough to photograph.

Great image. So sleek and simple. The mostly monochromatic tones work well here.

Very nice Simon - I can just picture it whizzing past the boat

Very nice, I like the wing position and the clouds.

Excellent. Really a "clean shot", in a positive sense of course
