Royal Tern

[Richard Unsworth]

:S3:

Captured in Tortuguero, Carribean Costa Rica last year.

After a big downpour I managed to get a boAt out and came across this in the middle of the river
Has quite a dark mood to it. I was told they come to the river when the ocean storms are on.
Hope you like it

bRIGHTENED SOME, ADDED A LITTLE SAT, NR and cropped all round

Hi Richard, good angled pose, and well captured from a moving boat. The tern is nicely separated from the water BG.

Richard,

Nicely captured. I like the crop you chose for this shot - a great composition for the long but not tall pose.

I may look at enhancing the catchlight a bit. It's there, just not very prominent

Hi Stuart, thx, trust you are well!
Miguel - thumbs up on the catchlite will dodge a little, thanks

Terrific shot.
Exposed very well, excellent details, great comp, and I agree on working a tad on the eye.
Very well done.
