Charlie,
Great shot. I really like the way you have captured the blue around his eye and the red on his jaw. Serene is the visceral impression I get from this shot.
Hope you are enjoying the islands. Let's shoot again when you return. We have been getting great White Tail Kite shots here in OC. A couple of my retired friends are going daily.

Wonderful image Charlie. I like the what seems to be a looking down BIF POV. I like the pose with the wings extended and the tail twisted for an impending turn. Plus you usual great techs. Enjoy your trip and be blessed with great light.

Great flight shot, Charlie. Great detail in the larger post. I really like the composition with the bird diagonal in the frame. Very nice image.

Charlie, this is really an excellent shot and presentation. The blue around the eye of the Booby really pops with that blue BG. Nice work!

Excellent flight shot, the larger image has wonderful detail and that blue bill/eye draws me into the image, well done.

Nice one Charlie - great pose. Those wings look massive, certainly larger than our local gannet

I like how the exposure here allows us to see the detail in the whites, Charlie. The bird diagonal in the frame provides a lovely comp too.
