Juvi Caspian Tern.

[Karl Egressy]

This is what I was hoping for; juvi in flight.
They don't fly around a lot as they are still fed by the parents.
I got only two frames this time in about two hour shooting the parent Terns.
Thanks for looking.

I love everything about this image.
Good compostion, nice wing position, nice clean background and the Tern is nice and sharp.
Well done.

Very nice flight shot of this juvi Caspian, Karl! Great exposure and sharpness. I might desaturate some of the blue cast in the shadow on the back behind the wing.

Wow Karl!! That's a killer Tern shot. Your best one in the series, IMO. The detail is awesome. You must have gotten pretty close on this one. Perfect HA and a nice open beak makes this one real nice.
Might consider removing the lower catch in the eye.
One to be proud of Karl

Super flight pose, Karl and it looks as though he's looking over at you. I would probably remove the one catch light if you felt like it. I am seeing a greenish/blueish cast on the underwing.

Thanks Marina.
I tried to remove the color cast in saturation moving the blue slider to zero and then repeated it.
It did not work.
How would you do it if I may ask.

[Marina Scarr]

If course you may ask, that's why we are all here. I did a color balance layer with +10 on the reds (away from cyan). Then I did levels adjustment to brighten it. Not sure it's right yet, but I think it's closer.
