Shy Albatross (Thalassarche cauta)

This was quite a poorly lit photo originally, as the sun was setting, and the bird wasn't in direct sunlight. But the water was so smooth, and the reflections were amazing, so I made another effort at trying to salvage the photo.

Cook Strait, Aotearoa

Taken with an OM-1 MkII / M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm F4.0 IS PRO

Post processing done in darktable.
