Prize-winning photograph...

Photo: Alan Fieldus

This photo of an Eliot's Storm Petrel (Oceanites gracilis) was the first prize winner in the BIRDSEYE APPS 2018 / 2019 Tropical Bird Photo Contest.   It was photographed at Las Bachas  Beach, on Isla Santa Cruz, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador.   This bird is normally a sooty, dark-coloured bird, but I feel the sun, perhaps near the horizon, may have enhanced its colouring.  In fact, the reflection in the water is probably a more accurate colour representation.   Indeed, a most interesting photograph.
Please comment if you wish.
