Original – Indian Yellow-nosed Albatross (Thalassarche carteri), east of Port Stephens, New South Wales, Australia
Reason
Good flight image. The top of the beak is visible, which is important to distinguish it from the Atlantic Yellow-nosed Albatross.

  • Support. The crop is a bit tight (I assume it was just captured this way rather than deliberately cropped), and yes the shadows are slightly noisy but not overly, and is not unexpected considering the image must have been significantly underexposed to retain detail on the white feathers.

  • Support. Was pondering now a while about that shade but it goes exactly where the wings go and looks like a belt or a decoration, or so - and I decided that it is an artistic asset. --Hafspajen (talk) 17:27, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
