Common Tern About To Plunge

Coming in for a bath on a warm afternoon......

Nikon D300, 500 AFS VR, TC14EII, ISO 640, F 7.1, 1/2000 Near Uni WB preset, CW metering

This is crazy!!! Love it! Light, pose, MOMENT, exposure, detail all is great, maybe there are some hot whites that could be recovered, but as presented is very strong! Congrats!

Awesome timing. Agree with everything Ramon said.

Cheers.

Amazing timing, Jim. Talk about capturing the moment. Nicely done!

Pushing the luminousity high end perhaps...but not blown according to CS3 on my end?

Now this is a high impact photograph!! Love the feet, the wing position, the all-important catchlight. Talk about timing too :-)

Great timing, Jim. Love it.

Great capture Jim. The whites seems OK in my computer screen. The action is fantastic Jim and I love the fact that is posible to see the habitat of the bird in the BG. I suggest to tone down a little bit the water and sand in order to made the bird pop up from the BG. Very nice image
