You have indeed captured this Petrel in flight really well, and the stop action is perfect. I can clearly see the little drop of water on its beak, and the bird is also standing out from the softened background in an excellent way.

Your focus is spot on and sharp and it is clear and well defined details to be seen in the feathers of the bird. The exposure is perfect.

The cropping is working well, and the bird has been given room to fly into. It is a lovely and well taken photo with an excellent DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

A sweet photo presented here of this interesting bird flying over the water in search of food. Your composition shades tones and angle is well thought out and executed. Thank you for sharing

WOW! Indeed, you've captured this petrel so sharply that I can see the patterns of the wings and textures of the feathers prominently. The background is so clean that this subject got all the viewer's focus. Well placed in the framed with plenty of negative space for your petril to fly. Excellent job.

A beautiful picture of the Southern Giant-Petrel ~
Macronectes giganteus in flight seen from your balcony with a drop of water clinging to the tip of it's beak. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

A fine entry into the competition presented here! Your eye catching composition captures a good in flight moment, the droplet is a bonus. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

Great-looking shot. Good timing. Your feathered friend is captured in a single frame, a symphony of colours and flight. Well done! Good luck!
