Adult Black-naped Terns trying to snatch the fish of the juvenile bird while one of the parent (tern on right) coming in for the rescue. Maybe this image is not so aesthetically pleasing..but I like the behavior and action here. :)

Great interaction! I preffer this type of photos, because they present a different point of view over the bird's life and behaviour. Thanks for sharing :)

Great behavior image. The interaction and explanation make this very interersting. I might add some space at the top and maybe 'reconstruct' the wing if that is something you do.

I love photos like this that capture both environment and behavior. You've done a great job here capturing the moment with good sharpness and exposure. I too would try to reconstruct a wing tip. Nice detail in the sky too. This one's a keeper! Thanks for posting.
