Exquisite details and pin sharp. Love the coralline algae and seaweed in its bill. Incredible portrait! Congratulations! :)

The detail, exposure, colour, BG and Soft coral in its beak make this one for me! I believe a bit more eyecontact would have made it perfect! Thanks for showing

Chas, this capture is a stunner. The colors are awesome. I love the way you can see the end of his bill grabbing onto the seaweed. I wonder if this is full frame or whether you cropped? Glad you had such a great trip.

Marina,

Thank you for the comments. The image is full frame. I try my best to utilize the entire frame when shooting, preferring to use all the pixel benefit possible.

Best,

Chas

Charles, loved the details and the sharpness. Exposure spot on as usual. full-frame shot with full-frame camera...with killer lens at f/11 and iso200. I will faint if I see this at 100% :-)

Charles, this is excellent in all respect. Very sharp and beautiful color with the seaweeds adding a lot. Congrats!!
