Axel, its a stunner. Terns look so beautiful when frozen this way. The exposure is perfect and that BG with the OOF greens below is just too sweeet. Prey takes it to another level. Congrats.

I like the fish and the unconventional pose. Nice and sharp! Wouldn't mind a little more eye contact.

Lovely posture, great light. Personally I would have opted for more shutter speed but the sharpness is very good.

You did very well to get it sharp with that SS. Splendid BIF image.

Great wing pose and tail spread. Fish is great, too. A wonderful shot.

It's a beauty Axel, love the crop and the fish is a real bonus, great timing. I might have tried to do something with the darker green in the lower left corner, it seems to distract just a touch.

I like the wing positions, and how the fish is framed against the far wing. Did he find the chick?

Thanks, Stuart! Eventually, he found it. The chicks get a little adventurous once in a while and sometimes the parents don't seem to remember their own nest.
