Common Tern with Fish
I am enjoying the manual mode which gives lot of control. I want to thank Doug Brown as I changed my camera settings exactly as suggested in his 7D guide and it has helped me a lot.
It was fun to watch hungry Juveniles. There was lot of feeding activity going on which allowed me some excellent flight photographs.
It was nice to meet Melissa Groo on this visit to Nickerson.
Comments and Suggestions are welcome.

Hi Maya, good banking pose showing off the wingspan, and his catch a bonus. You have brought out the eye nicely against the dark cap.

Nice dorsal view, with his head well lit. Nice of him to turn the fish the right way. Well done.

excellent dynamic pose with the fish. Details look good in the large version. I just wish the tern had not intersected with the tree line but a great shot overall TFS
