These two were taken on our last day at South Georgia island. We were doing a ship cruise up the Dryglaski Fjord mostly for the scenery and glacier at the end of the fjord. I decided to keep shooting birds

Love #2. We did that same trip. I never got anything this good, not even close. Whites are perfect. Scenery is nice.......if you go for that sort of thing!
That's one of the best shots I've seen of this bird; hell I'll say it's THE best!

I like the wing position in #2 better, but the crop is a little weird, thus I'd choose #1. Great handling of the whites! -Mike

The dark blue and white are a winner Geoff; your handling of exposure here is exceptional. Were these cropped at all?

Thanks Don. I was so glad I kept my big lens out that day, I got some of the best closeup flight shots of a bunch of different species while everyone else looked at glaciers.

Thanks Mike. The #2 crop is because that was the bottom of the frame so I couldn't leave any more room below the wing. I would have cropped different if I had the room. I may go to PS and add canvas if I decide to print it.

Thanks. Yes I did crop them. I'd say I cropped off about 50-60% by area.
