John, I really like this. So simple, so soft (feel) and light.

The slightly cockeyed wingspread with straight down gaze is really neat. Another sweet high key!

Nice HK image you have here John. I like the pose, and even though I like the head down as most terns are looking for food, I still find myself wishing the eye was just a tiny bit more visible. Still nicely done!

Like the high key look, and especially the image design. The image, however, looks quite flat but I am not sure that there is anything that could have been done to change that in the soft light ...
