I like the frozen action coupled with the contrast between the blues of the water and the white of the bird. i might add an inch or two back to the canvas on the right side, if you have it.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I prefer this one to your previous for the better wing positions and exposure. I agree a bit more room at right would help the comp, and perhaps more above too if the complete splash is worth including.

[James Salywoda]

This is sweet Charles as I really like the splash and the wing position of the Tern as it starts pulling out of the water.
