Photographer’s Note
Magnificient Fregatbirds are following a fishingboat as the fisherman throws the gutter of the catch overboard.
This is at the 'Spanish Water. a serie of lagunes near the city, where the rich build enormous houses.
Fregatbirds are breeding on a little island in a bay in the north and spread around the island during the day to fish.

I Gerrit,
A difficult shot that you handled well. I like the enquadrement of the boat and the Fregatbirds flying at the upper right. Good handling of light, good colors and fine capture of birds motion.
Well seen, done and composed. Congratulations and have a nice weekend.

Hi Gerrit - very attractive maritime shot, wondderful light, I would prefer to see the bottom of the boat but I undersatand why you didn't want to sacrifice the birds at the top.

net even een klein beetje meer ruimte aan de onderkant van de boot en hij had perfect geweest.
Maar laten we reeel blijven je hebt hier een uitstekende capture gemaakt. Die vogels duiken wel. en blijven niet poseren. goed werk Gerrit.

Hello Gerrit, this is a great composition with the boat in the bottom corner and the birds swooping overhead. It does indeed look like an attack especially with the lower bird pointing directly at the boat. I might have cloned out the wing of the bird in the top left though.

Hola Gerrit.
Very good picture with good colors and sharpness. Great sky with the fregatbirds flying around the boat. Would be nice to see the entire boat and sacrifice a little bit of sky. To clone the wing of the bird at the top also will help your picture.
Thank you for sharing.
Have a nice weekend.

Bonsoir Gerrit,
Une bien jolie composition avec ces frégates qui survolent le bateau du pêcheur.
Les frégates, grands oiseaux des mers, sont beaucoup moins nombreuses que les mouettes.
Joli ballet aérien.
Amitiés.

Hi Gerrit
This is brilliant and a capture in the instant of the moment. The diving birds are very majestic and the scene is well composed to show the action of the birds in this setting. A well seen moment.
Cheers

Very good composition. Good colors and saturation. I like the sky with full of clouds. The flying birds are also very attractive.
Thanks for sharing.
