Thought I would post the original picture of the Brown Booby. It shows some more detail of this beautiful bird.

He was flying right at our balcony and didn't seem to mind me taking his picture. Here is some amazing information that Cornelius gave me yesterday: In the wake of ships there are always fishes, some of them are numbed by the turbulent water due to the turning of the propellers. An ideal prey for seagulls and related species. That is why they accompany a ship as long as possible on her (a ship is female, 😁) journey.

Thanks Cornelius.

As for the sky, I did not touch it up, it truly was that gorgeous blue

Have a Great Day, ♥ Skates ♥

Great shot Skates and good information from Captain SEA.
It looks great against the blue sky. I need to take a cruise someday.

No thanks needed, Pat. You're very welcome.
Think it should be the opposite way, because we have to thank you for another wonderful action shot (this observing Booby in flight).
The details of this close-up are amazing. Perfectly done again, my friend!

I love the close-up of this Booby, Pat. Getting a close shot and stilling the action gets a bravo from me. The detail is wonderful.
