Australasian Gannet (Morus serrator) flying high above an angry ocean off Muriwai Beach on the North Island of New Zealand. I took this shot with a Canon EOS 50D, and Sigma 70-200 f2.8 at ISO 400, 107.0 mm (169.5 mm in 35mm), f/11, and 1/1250s.

Wow, beautiful shot! The angry waves... the yellow head of the bird adds a nice bright touch to the main tone.
