Photographing Albatross, something less obvious!

As regular readers will know, I spent a fair bit of time photographing seabirds, including albatross, last year. Here I am months and months later and I’m still posting the pictures (will I ever catch up?), but today something a little less obvious. This image has had very little processing, a minor crop, and of course the captioning. The content of the image is the result of observation, planning and a bit of good timing, not compositing or overlaying of images. I’ve been experimenting a little lately with texture blending in Photoshop, but when nature provides you with a great texture of her own, well why not use it?
