Bird #3 from the Easter experimentation shoot.
Crested Tern, on the Beach, Coorong SA.
Lying flat on the beach, Sun behind me (ish). This was after I moved and tried to get the sun directly behind me from the flock. Once the 2 types of gulls were settled down after about 1/2 hour of me lying there, A small group (maybe 8) of these crested Terns came to join them.
Canon 1d IV 300 f2.8 + 2x TC Mk III mounted on a Skimmer Pod.
ISO 200, f5.6 1/1250s manual, no flash.
60% Crop (Horizontal cropped nearly square)
Adjusted Levels, toned down the whites a bit, added saturation. All adjustments in lightroom.
I've adjusted this hopefully more in line with the comments from the last Gulls post.

Questions on this one:
- The 3/4 body and the head turn. Interested in folks thoughts on position and head angle?
- The Sea went a bit grey in the OOF background. This ok, or should I send it back more 'blue'. Distracting or ok ?
- Position in frame / crop. (Verticals are full frame, but I've cropped out a chunk of blank space from the right)
- The Whites !!.
All comments welcome.
Regards
Mark
