I've posted several other Blue-footed Booby courtship shots on Avian recently, and thought I'd share another one here. This is one of many shots I took of this action sequence, and none got everything right -- either I had the male's wing extension hidden behind the standing female, or her head turned (as here) with no visible eye. Most were tight-in shots; this one was a large crop from a wide-angle view. In any event, it was an amazing sight to watch. C&C appreciated.
Like the interaction and peculiar point of view !!! Same mating pose as our local cormorants :) .. do they rock their wings also? .. I called it doing the iPod :)
Well exposed and lots of detail Framing is good and point of focus is on the right place !!!
This work for me too, the angle in which you captured is about the same as how the female view the male courtship dance, so the head turning away doesn't bother me. The image tell me the female is judging the male dance, so she can decide whether or not she will mate with her, which tell a story, very well done.
C'mon, is that the best you can do?
