Wonderful capture, Lorant especially from a paraglider. Like that you also managed to get two Terns in the frame. I keep looking at the individuals activity. Nice and sharp and I like the color of the sand, as it works well IMO with the pink feathers. Well done.

Lorant, I really like this a wall hanger in my opinion, I would crop a bit off the top to get rid of the empty hole but other than that…
I think this in a large print would be excellent.

Interesting, like it a bunch, can you give us some info, where's the water or is this sand? are these all adults? I agree w manipulating the crop to lose the open space at top. Fun!

Hi Lorant, very interesting, nicely done. I guess a paragliding is good for this POV, no noise to disturb the birds. Thank you for sharing.

It is powered paragliding, so there is noise. But I use a long lens and stay 300-400m above them. As you can see in the photo they don't bother about me. Taking pictures is hard though. I even get nausea looking through the long lens moving all over the place.

What a great perspective Lori! Love it. If anything, I would just tidy up partial birds around the frame edges. Up to you.
Cheers mate!

Awesome! I'm OK with the gap above. That tern in the middle is heading the wrong way! I agree with Akos in regards to cleaning up the edges from some of the more deeply cut off birds.

These are adult birds getting ready for the nesting season. They are in the Cienaga, the wetland that sandwiches the piece of land with the sea where the coastal villages are. It is shallow water with high concentration of salt. This is my playground, my chosen home and a place I admire and love.
