At least, I think that's what it's doing. There were two of them, showing this behaviour since yesterday. Makes you wonder :wink:
Shot at Little Estero Lagoon, Fort Myers Beach.
Posting from zipdrive in Starbucks, DSL in down at home, so specs are approximate what I remember.

Ahhh, is it appropriate to say "Magnificent?" I like the very graphic colors.

Don't get overly caffinated!! :P

A beauty Fab, love the comp here. The angle is maybe a tiny bit steep, but that is a minor point.

I like the composition here, but there appears to be a magenta cast to the sky. Wish for more light and definition on the body.

You must be really thrilled at this one, Fab. Just what a magnificent frigatebird image is supposed to look like! Congrats.

Note: the loss of detail in the reds here may simply be due to oversaturation of the red channel... This can occur even with images right out of the camera... Try reducing the SAT of the red channel and see how it looks. BTW, nice one, esp. for FLA!
best and love, artie

Excellent Fab--not sure I've seen one showing this behavior in flight before.
