Full wing spread, Beautiful tail and perfect eye contact made this image for me. Very good image.
Beautiful image Judy, makes me look forward to the summer when our terns return. Excellent detail and exposure on this shot and the full spread of the tail makes for a great pose.
Cheers

Fantastic Judy - great light, feather detail. Love these aerodynamics in action type shots - tail spread and alula extended. You just can't see these things in real time.
This is pretty darn good!! Love the light, and of course the fully extend tail. Great photograph.
Great tip to tip detail and sharpness and nicely cropped
Just about perfect!!
Excellent image, Judy. The tail is stunning.
Judy, I really like the level head with the body tilted to give you that nice top view. Well done.
Great pose Judy!
Simply fantastic !! Amazing really !
Judy Lynn it's all been said (almost) before me. I'll only add that I love how the tail feathers become more opaque where they start to overlap. Well done!
A fantastic flight shot. What a great pose!
Beautiful pose, Judy.
The only think I don't like is the wingtips, they seem to be the focus of the image. This happens a lot and I have a tutorial about it in the Digital Workflow Forum.
I would have sharpened this on a layer, and, with an layer mask, erase the effect of the sharpening on both wingtips for a more even look.
I t seems like you enjoyed your Desoto trip :)
Judy Judy Judy! You captured a terrific image!
Very nice shot, Judy!! I like the pose and the sharpness of the image.
Wonderful light and I love the wing position and tail spread. A beautiful photo.
Sweet shot Juday. Beautiful light and pose. Like the wing position and topside view. Nice job.
Excellent pose and eye contact! It's just a bit dark on my monitor.
Like Michael said, the tail alone is worth the price of admission. Beautiful.
And, great title!
This is an incredible image. The sharpness and the details as well balanced. Excellent span of wings and all the tail feathers. Cannot comment anything bad here.
