very nice Jon, I like the exposed eye and the details in the wing, prey item a bonus! well done.

[Bill Dix]

Great outstretched wing; shows how long these terns' wings are. Nice fish, too.

Lovely Jon, a great catch for both! :cheers:

Do you think having a bit more blue and fractionally dropping the Yellow may help?

Hi Jon, I keep coming back to this and for once I just cannot put my finger on the reasons why, perhaps it's just the simplicity and the fish? But addressing the Blues & Yellows, then adding a slight Tonal Curve to the image, I do think everything just 'pops' nicely with some fine detail too, WDYT? I applied it to yesterdays JPEG.

Yes it's an improvement thanks Steve. I have to admit adjusting the yellows had not occurred to me.

Jon, colour has a strong influence and often it can be the last colour we think of, that can change things, but often a mix. :w3

Jon, this is something that I have been striving for and you catch this really well. I need to remember about the yellow color correction. Love that repost, Steve.
