I revisited my tern files, and thought I would share this one with you. Taken at the coast a few months ago.

Hi Stuart,
I love the way in which the tern seemings to be surfing along on the breeze. Beautiful feather details. Does the eye look a little bright?
Best,
Nicki

Beautiful sharpness and details.The eye does look a bit bright. I love the gradient BG colors. Nicely framed.

Beautiful tern image, Stuart. The angles are incredible on this one. Only thought I had was maybe find a way to blend the bottom of the BG just a bit with the center so it was more gradual instead of it being a band at the bottom. Maybe a 50% clone between the two colors?

Thank you all so much for the great feedback. Here is a version removing the sea at the bottom, and darkening the eye.

I liked the sea at the bottom :) It seemed like a gradient, and gave depth, dang. Very sharp and great EXP.

Stuart, I like the bottom color also. It gave some interest. Beautiful sharpness.Can't comment on the eye-since I'm not sure. Love it!

Much prefer the sea at the bottom as in the original post. My big problem here is again one that nobody has mentioned; the bird's head is turned slightly away....
What species is this, or is it Sterna anotheri???

I agree about keeping the strip of ocean on bottom.
Lovely bird and wings. Agree about the head angle been a few degrees away.

Thank you all for the different opinions regarding the sea.
Artie, This is a swift Tern. The only tern that has a full yellow beak.

Very beautiful Stuart, love the HA, wing position, BG, if you wanna be picky there is some grain on the darker feather but overall excellent. TFS
