Original - Shy Albatross (Thalassarche cauta) in flight, East of the Tasman Peninsula, Tasmania, Australia
Reason
See the Cape Petrel nomination for general comments. I think this would be our first featured albatross in flight if passed.

  • Support as nominator --JJ Harrison (talk) 00:49, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support -- The bird looks a little weird with its feet completely hidden... like a very stern flying torpedo. Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:34, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • The feet are there, just tucked under the tail aerodynamically. JJ Harrison (talk) 06:43, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think I see them, but they seem to be in the shadows so I'm not sure. Still iffy on the pose, but otherwise it is a great shot. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:21, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support perfect. Nice photo. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 12:58, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Very good quality, good EV. I was going to say 'were you at sea', but the cape petrel nom answers that for me. --jjron (talk)
    • It is geocoded as well - I took a data point with my phone GPS periodically, and whenever we stopped, then linear interpolated between those points using the exif time. JJ Harrison (talk) 00:18, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
