Warm & Toastie
Frigatebird chic sheltering from the cool winds being swept across the open landscape on one of the Galápagos islands. Wing feathers protecting the head and beak.

MKIII 70-200f/2.8 1/250 f/7.1 ISO400 -0.67

That is a very nice image Stephen. The symmetry of the dark feathers either side of the head is what makes it for me.

Right up my street - a very nice image Steve.

Lovely textures throughout, like that hint of blue. The feathers made me think of a heart shape when I first looked. Like it Stephen :smile:
