Thank you. I love the water surface in this shot (and I claim no credit at all for that, I was just trying to get a clear picture of the birds from a moving boat ).
taking photos from a boat that is bobbing up and down is a trial (quite apart for my general inability to handle seasickness). I have many many shots of albatrosses and petrels minus their heads or bodies - or even missing from the frame altogether!
