Genovesa Island, Galapagos

From Darwin Bay beach.  One of the great things about this island is the collapsed caldera wall that can serve as a nice backdrop for BIF shots. Not to mention the ability to walk within inches of nesting frigatebirds, boobies and more.

John, nice angle and good placement of the Booby within the frame. The wall makes a great background. Very nice image.

Wonderful contrast, as you mention for a white bird- very well done, to take advantage of it. The shadowbox really shows how beautiful this shot is, with the glowing light on it's back. A beauty!
