A lovely picture,beakynet. Just the right amount of movement on the rotor blades.
The horizon looks level enough for me. The chopper could have been a bit higher in the sky, so you could crop of a bit of the rather boring sea. But considering the time spam you were in I think you did a great job. Well done.

Cracking shot, I think the cropping is very good - just enough space for the chopper "to move into" I reckon.

Thanks, I took several pictures as it was hovering, the first when I reviewed sent me straight fo the shutterspeed dial! Others were higher up but I though the gap between the sea and the copter was right in this one.A lovely picture,beakynet. Just the right amount of movement on the rotor blades.

Number two is exactly what I meant. The difference is subtle but, now there is just a bit more balance.
Great capture.

What do you think? I have just cropped, straightened out the horizon (less than 1degree off!), applied curves and cloned out an annoying ship on the horizon below the helicopter.
