I've always loved the grace of Elegant Terns. They are so fun to photograph for exactly that reason.

Cool pose, good sharpness and BG. If anything, I might put the bird a tad further to the right in the frame but definitely like it as is.

Great pose and eye contact, I like the orange bill color standing out very nicely here.

[Stu Bowie]

Doug, I like the forward wing position and fanned tail, and you certainly nailed the sharpness. Well captured.

[James Salywoda]

I love the dramatic pose and excellent eye contact. The tern really looks great against that bg. Sweet Shot Doug!!!

Doug, I love the pose w/ the curved up wing tip. Very nice sharp details.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Love the flight pose Doug and the wings forward and the fanned tail. Great timing and a beautiful BG to set this off.

Beautiful exposure and pose is outstanding. Really brings out the "grace".

WOW... I love this one.
Agree with Axel on putting the bird a bit more to the right

Hi Doug

I am a big fan of terns they make such great flight subjects. Excellent pose and back view in this image and the bird really seems to be living up to its name. I would like to see a touch more room to the left of the bird.

Cheers
