Hi Selen

I really like this picture. The pose is great and the light simply wonderful - you have turned the harsh Galapagos light to your advantage. Great POV and DOF also.

Hi Selen,
A great capture of this blue booby!
It's amazing the light blue of their feet, it really calls the attention.
It's very good the illumination here, with the reflection of it in the down part of the bird's body.
You got a nicely blurred and beautiful background.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hi Selen, this is just too cool. Those feet look like flippers I used to own. This is an excellent composition you have with the Booby on the rock. Your depth of field is great, isolating him from the background. The colours expecially and the detail are very good.

Thanks, John

Merhaba Selen,

Una gran captura de esta curiosa ave. Has captado muy bien los contrastes claros y oscuros en la toma de la luz. Una gran foto, de un viaje por lugares maravillosos.

Un saludo.

Hello Selen,
This is a bird I've always wanted to see! Excellent frontal view showing those big blue feet. Excellent sharpness and fine colours. It looks very beautiful against the mangrove in the background.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hello Selen,
the blue footed booby is really a terrific bird. The blue is so intense. I like the light in this picture. Maybe a off centered position would have been nicer in terms of composition.
Cheers, Jacob

Hello Selen,
When I was in Ecuador last year I didn't have visited the Galapagos. (Afraid of great waters)
Now I see what I have missed. This Boobie contrasts perfectly with the BG. Very sharp photo with good POV and DOF.
Regards,
Peter

Hi Selen,
This is probably one of the most famous residents of the Galapagos. Such a strange sight to see a bird with blue feet. You captured him beautifully, with great care of details, DOF and exposure. My only really small nit is the central placement of the bird. I would prefer a slightly more dynamic placement. In this case more toward the right.
TFS,
Niek

merhaba Selen,
Galapagos deyince benim aklıma hep Mavi ayaklı boby veya sümsükkuşları gelir. İlk galapagos fotoğraflarınızdan beri acaba o da varmı diye bekledim ve tahminler doğru çıktı. Elinize sağlık, bu güzel türü çok başarılı görüntülemişsiniz. renkler, duruş ve netlik harika. teşekkürler ve selamlar

Excellent in the wild capture Selen. You were close at 130mm :)
Very good sharpness, detail, DOF, and exposure..
Perhaps a bit less space right IMHO.

Hello Selen
Your image of the Blue-footed Booby is so sharp and detailed. I like the pose he is giving you as he stares away from the camera. The colours are rich and lighting is soft. Excellent note.
