Brown Noddy

Hi Folck,

coming back of a sea trip outside of Guerrero state Mexico, We get some species like this brown noddy.
I took the pictures from a small boat, with a bit of wave, and flying complicate a bit the result.

The keeper rate on pelagic trips can be quite modest and I like the angle, eye contact and light in this one. While I like the wave underneath the bird, I might crop off the bottom for a stronger composition and sharpen the bird some more.
