It is a miracle that you could focus in that stormy weather at all, Alfred. Nice shot, the rough water makes it for me.

Love seabirds on pelagics!

Couple of thoughts - I'd like the shot more if the bird was positioned further to the left (turn it around and framing would be great, and the bird would still be flying towards you rather than has flown past you). I'm not sure what you selectively changed, but overall I think it could do with more brightening, or better might be to nudge the exposure in post +1/3 - I imagine the histogram would show you're not taking full advantage of the bright tone values.

Thanks for sharing, and inspires me to share some recent pelagic shots, where all comments will be most welcome.
