Keeping up appearances
This Blue Footed Booby was certainly going to town on having a good old, 'wash & brush-up' before his mate came back from a fishing trip. Taken towards the later part of the afternoon in the Galápagos.

Slight crop, diffused BG all done in camera.

Looks like you had harsh light to contend with :smile:

You have caught the big in the frame bug !

Details are excellent again and you handled the light well. Another place on the must do list.

Cheers
