Here's another shot from our January Galapagos tour, this was taken on the east end of San Cristobal Island.

WOW Nate, you couldn't have color matched this image this perfect if you tried. I love how you got him to raise his leg to show off that blue foot. Great pose, background and the rock he's on looks well used too. Detail in the Booby is sharp, just a very cool shot.

Nice framing and complementry BG colors, Nate.
Looks like he is doing "The ol' Soft Shoe Foot"
Cool Shot.

Hi Nate,
Well done witha great color combination too. The pose and blue-webbed feet are choice as well..................Jim

Great pose as the bird leans left, love the harmonious BG Nate.
Very nice!
Had to come back for a second look Nate..
Your 'Blue-footed Booby' is doin' what we call here in Texas the 'Boot Scootin' Boggie'
And he/she knows there's a honky tonk near the county line..

Great pose, Nate, and excellent techs. Interesting that the feet match the blue bg.

A classic Blue-footed shot. Nice management of that brutal equatorial light.

Thanks for your comments everyone. Jim this was taken right at last light so the light was sweet not brutal.
