Hello Selen,
not only magnificent fregatbird but also magnificent picture. I am always amazed by your skills as I have hardly ever made such razorsharp in-flight images with the same camera-lens combination. The extra add, the moon, makes it a real winner...

Well done and thanks for sharing this very nice shot,

Hi Selen,
What a wonderful close capture. The fact that you can see the eye so perfectly is just amazing. Really love the details in the entire bird and the fact that you got a composition with the moon. The late sunlight illuminated the bird perfectly.

Hi Selen

Wonderful capture - you did extremely well to get such a sharp cature with such good eye contact. I spent ages trying to get a good shot of the Christmas Island Frigate and only managed a couple of decentish shots (the sky was overcast for most of the time which didn't help).

Hi Selen

The name does justice for the bird - it is truly magnificent!
But you couldn't just take a picture of this Frigatebird, you had to include something else in the frame - that terrific moon in the BG that just looks like the cherry on top of the cake...simply magnificent!
Regarding the technical elements of the shot - i love the exposure, focus and POV.
The exposure is simply perfect and you managed to get a well balanced light in all the areas of the bird; due to that, you got exceptional details in both the bright, sunny parts - like the chest - but also good ones in the dark under-wings.
The focus is impeccable as usual and therefore the sharpness is brilliant and the bird is presented with tremendous details.
The POV is of course terrific - both for the bird but surely for the integrated moon too.
So really...a question comes to mind: is there any nit in this picture? Well, my answer is NO...this is just the way it should be!

BRAVO and TFS
Horia

PS: How did you manage to get so close to it? Only 100mm????? WOW!!!

Hi Selen,
Outstanding in-flight shot and a fabulous expression on the eyes captured. The lighting is fantastic and against the blue sky as BG the Frigatebird looks majestic. The Moon adds a fine drama and I like the shape of its wings. Excellent POV and very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.
