Very interesting! I have never seen anything quite like this. It's webbed feet look like plastic!
Good frontal POV and sharpness. Exposure is just right maintain exposure of whites.
Funny looking fella!

Hello Ralf,
A super composition, the red flowers in the BG are in cooperation with the red feet. And to know that you have had red feet too. Great story.

Hej Ralf,
Another fine sharp capture from your Belize tour.
This is a Red-footed Booby, that you mention in your note but the Blue-faced has a little black at the base of the bill and its feet are orange, rather than strikingly red-coloured like the individual you show.
TFS,
Hälsningar, Ivan

Hi Ralf,

I love it!!! A wonderful capture showing this strange creature off beautifully. The colors, details, pose and setting are all fantastic. I love the feet and the beak.

Hello Ralf!
This picture has a few things which I really like :) At first it is a good quality photo, with good DOF, and interesting POV. For the second it is just funny for me :) Bird's red feet together with "blue face" make this species similar to cyrcus clown ;>
TFS and best regards,
Radomir

Hi Ralf,
it's just great this portrait. I tried many (photographic) things with the same Booby species in Galapagos, and the results don't even come close to yours. Well seen, well waited, well composed, well lighted. Congratulations!
Cheers
