    Default She Looks Good

    The male Magnificent Frigatebird seemed to be really impressed with her landing pose. :) I made this at James Shadle's boat.

    Talk about a show-off :)
    Is that a young male? Because I don't see much red.
    Very good poses with no mergers and lots of detail in the dares plumage.

    Great capture Axel. Very well taken.
    Just a more space right and top. The right wing tip is too close to the upper right corner.

    Thanks, Fabs! I'm not sure if it is a young male or if these are non-breeding colors.

    I do like the landing posture, with a splayed tail too. Bit of a strained neck from the male, but birds necks are very flexible, so Im sure no physio needed there. Good choice of comp too.
