Congrats on a great first post Peter. Excellent exposure and sharpness. I've never seen an Inca Tern; they are beautiful. Can't wait to see more of your work.
Wonderful portrait with great exposure and detail as well as excellent eye contact. A great first post Peter and a big welcome to BPN. Look forward to seeing more !!!!!
Big Welcome Peter !!!!!! Beautiful bird which I'm not familiar with at all !!! Sharp well exposed and great head angle !!! If it is fine with you would clean up the some of the prominent white spots
Cropping wise its just a mater of taste but like to see the eye further back in the frame with a slight crop from the left and bottom !!! Love your image and looking forward to seeing more !!!! Muy Bueno !!!!
Hi Robert,
The picture is taken in Callao port in Peru. It is a wild bird and quitte common at the coast and are not shy. They have there favorite resting places.Just wait and they are comming close.
White spots are waterdrops.
Thanks all for the comment
I like the portrait style you chose here. The fine details on the neck and slight shadows highlighted are nice. The yellow and white markings are very unique, well exposed. The beak seems a bit bright as to the sun reflection, but a very minor mention. I do not mind the tight crop. Welcome and keep posting your fine images.
