Female Magnificent Frigate Bird
Hi folks. Happy New Year to all!
I had the chance to photograph for my first time, the Magnificent Frigate Bird.
Here is a shot of a female in flight.

Thanks Dave!!!
Looking forward to some of Jennifer's work too :)
Lovely bird and pose, specially that turned tail! Excellent detail in the body, you had perfect light angle and she was probably ready to land and at a low altitude. They can soar!!!
Big Red Carpet Welcome David !!!
Sweet Love the detail in such a difficult bird Big Congrats !!!!!
David,
Welcome to BPN!!
I like this image, love there birds which I saw quite a few of in Bonaire while diving. Could use a little more contrast on the bird maybe seems a little flat on my monitor but maybe I worked too late! :confused: The BG does not look flat but has good contrast.
Anyway, brings back good memories of the Caribbean and a nice image for sure!
Welcome John,
You did very well with the panning. I find the wings a little distracting as they are all over the place. At first I thought that was branches in the BG but nothing you could do about it.
The exposure and details are awesome!
Hey welcome to BPN, buddy! Great capture of a cool looking bird! No nits from me. Looking forward to more images from your trip.
Hi David, Happy New Year. What an experience this must have been. I really like the unusual pose and BG. If anything maybe a tiny boost in contrast.
Sweet action capture David. Like the pose and detail. Good to see you here. Welcome and Happy New year.
