Happy New Year to all bird photographers!
This is a great site with fantastic shots!
Here is mine humble adding to it.

The image is wonderful. You caught the peak of the action, the image is sharp, and the frraming is perfect. You were, however, done in by the wind; if it had been coming from behind you (wind and light together), the bird would have been facing you and this one might have gotten honored in the BBC. I do love the spread wings and the foot (with which the tern appears to be trying to subdue the fish!)
Welcome and thanks for sharing, artie

Hello and welcome.
The wings are very sharp and as Artie said, you captured me beak in action. The lower angle makes this image pop.

Welcome, Ivo. Great angle, wing position and action. In addition to what Artie said you could apply a bit S/H on the darker parts of the neck.

Not much I can add to the expert opinions above :) Great action. I like the way the little bit of orange stands out and draws the eye to the action.

Its a really cool pose. I just wish the bird was turned a bit more towards you. Welcome aboard!
