Cool-looking bird, I'd love to see some of these sometime. I would desaturate the sky and it looks as if there is a slight color cast and there are some artifacts in the sky, probably from jpg compression. I would run Viveza if you have it to bring out more details in the blacks and to tone down the highlights more.
Steve,
Tropic birds are awesome to photograph on Midway. I have some great memories of these guys. The congregate near shore where they ground nest for aerial courtship displays.
Agree 100% with Axel's recommendations. Good exposure with the highlights, white birds in full sun can be a challenge for most people. Sharpness is good also.
