BLACK-BROWED ALBATROSS ON NEST
Black-browed albatross nest on conical mounds of mud, here on a cliff top on Saunders Island in the Falklands. By getting my camera low to the ground, I was able to show this albatross against the sky in warm evening light. Stoping the lens right down to F/22 gave sufficient depth of field that the whole bird is sharp.
F/22, 1/400th second, ISO 800
