Lovely bird and good clean shot. This is so much like the Bridled Tern which I will post a BIF shot of later today.

Just perfect as usual. Excellent banking shot. Processing is top notch and I really like the lighting and blue sky background. Crop brings the whole image together. These guys are high on my list to get shots of next year. I have a few breeding colonies near me that I have to make time to visit. A shot like this will be inspiration for next year.

Great frame Arash. Nothing to complain about on this one. Great wingspread and head angle.

P.S. Are you still evaluating the 5D4? Is a review upcoming?

Hi Arash,
Lovely exposure on the whites and tack sharp.
Great position of wings.
Just wish for a few clouds in the sky to break up the blue,
Gail
