Hi Ade,
Yep, the camera was sitting very low in this one. I'd guess about 3 inches above sea level  I'd just flipped the screen up on the back so I could see what I was taking as there is absolutely no way I could have laid down here.... I was standing on a rock similar to that in the foreground!
And yes, from your pictures, something in the foreground makes a huge difference to the overall shot. Both yours look great, but the bottom one has just so much more in it to keep the eye interested!

Were you led on the ground doing this? Just tah it looks like it's from such a low viewpoint.
as you know, I'm prone to doing this.... then getting caught by Mr bowden!
Another great sceme of somehting I'll never see no doubt. The foreground rock works well - somethuing I've learned since being on here on Ephotozine is that lanscapes always benefit from foreground interest. here's 2 examples from virtually the same spot, one I paced back and panned down on....
this one's no foreground really....

some impressive albatross shots - and no golf clubs in sight!
amazing how striahgt its wings get when it's gliding - though I bet it's quite knackereing for them to flap too much!
cheers

I agree with P.J. - it's rather unusual to see a photograph of a bird in flight in that position and placement in respect to the horizon.

Veramente un bello scatto, se non altro singolare per la capacità di fermare l'attimo evidenziando anche i dettagli dell'albatros.
Bravo

Hi Ade,
Thanks for the comments.... yes, the island is a bit remote (10-11 days on a boat each way)!! I was aware that the horizon was a bit out.... just never got around to PSing it. Really must start doing that as I just can't seem to hold the camera level....

what a super view - not often you see that (well probably never in most peopl'e lives - that island's in the middle of nowhere isn't it?).
like the composition too - the bay sweeping across the bottom of the frame takes your eyes across to the distant mountains.
A class shot - just one thing, is the horizon straight, I just pupped it in Photoshop and used a Guide Line top get a horizontal line on the water line (where it meets the distant montains) and it was a midges dick out - just rotated it till the horizon and the guidline was parallel.
Cheers
Ade

Great capture Andy, love the skull and crossbones on the side of the zodiac too !!!
Some skullduggery perhaps ;-)
Judging by the gear he is wearing I have no need to ask if the water is a little on the cool side !

Excellent capture Andy, love the way the wingtip is just about to touch the water.
Still awaiting the other albatross piccie going up to - difficult to imagine the actual size of these incredible birds !

Great capture Andrew.
Very nice dof and colors of this beautiful bird.
I like the details, especially on his very unusual beak.
It looks like he is frozen in ambar.
Congratulations and thanks for sharing.
Keep up the good job.

Peter, thanks for the comment. The original capture before cropping has much more space around the wing tips. I guess I cropped too much!! I'm still quite new to digital photography and have a bit to learn... so I really appreciate the comments telling me how to make it better.

Steve, yeah they were really cool to watch. They would circle and glide for hours around the ship and barely flap their wings once! I think the ones following our ship were quite young because I'd estimate the wing span of the larger ones to be about 1.5-2.0M. Black brow albatross can grow up to a 2.5M wing span! Wandering albatross which we also saw can have a wingspan up to 3.5M (the largest wingspan of any bird)!!!
And no, that day I didn't 'deposit my breakfast over the camera'. I was on the Scopolamine by then (best stuff I've ever had for sea-sickness).
