    Default Magnificent Frigattebird



    This was taken with the harsh Caribbean sun while walking on the beech with my 24-70mm lens at 68mm. One of the few BIF images I have without a long lens. Let me know what you think.

    Wish we had a better look at the bird's right wing, but I like this image a lot. Great job with the exposure. The image would be all the more impressive if posted at 1024 pixels wide.

    Great find and eye contact. I agree regarding the near wing, if it were like the far wing the image would be even stronger.

    Love the pose captured here. I have trouble getting anything if flight that is sharp so this looks great to me.

    Is it just me or is there a slight halo? Especially to the left of the head and the left (bird's right) wing. Wonderful work though for such short FL brother. :)
