I rather like this shot, although some parts of the albatrosses head is a bit burnt out. The clouds in the background come up really nicely.
This one is a older male Antipodean Albatross. It is an Antipodean because of the classic plumage of that species: note the dark solid crown patch on the top of the head (not easy to see in this shot) and the all dark tail (again not easy to see in here). It is an older bird because of the extent of white: this species is often a lot browner, quite often as a breeding adult. Females, of course, are browner than males generally speaking, although an old female might be whiter than a young male (with age, the birds become white).
Robertson, CJR & Warham, 1992: NOTE(AS: Diomedea antipodensis is split provisionally from D. exulans Wandering Albatross (Robertson & Warham 1994; Brooke 2004; Onley & Scofield 2007; BLI 1.0; Tennyson 2010; see SACC 388 re case against this split).)
