A Break from Fishing

I’d watched these Blue Footed Boobies diving for their breakfast for quite some time. They finally were full and decided to take a break before heading back to the nesting site they came from at first light. It's always a challenge to get clearly focused shots while riding a Panga in the open water, but some of the captures came out decent. This was my pick.

Thank you. I had to learn how to keep my upper body motionless while my lower body swayed.

Beautiful shot. The compostion and the sharpness make it.

No worries about the sharpness. I blew it up twice and the eyes are tack sharp. I especially like that you got one of them still in the air. Very nice photo.

Thank you Erich. Having the one about to land on the columns was what drew me to take a 6 shot series. I was just lucky that that one came out right.
