    Nice down wing pose and excellent background, Frank. I don't see much of the eye on my monitor.

    Awesome BG, the beak looks very sharp but the rest of the body looks rather smooth. Still very nice.

    I can see the eye, though there is not much light in it, no big deal imo, these birds with their black heads make seeing the eye at all difficult. Loving the bright orange beak against the smooth and subtle backdrop...layered colors work nicely too I think. Nice wing form and clear head from the rest of the body.....a little soft, but not badly, and better than my attempts at Terns in flight

    This is a very nice picture. It is not easy to get a flight picture like this since these guys are really fast. Sharpness looks good and the green BG is a plus since the usual BG for the terns is blue. The Only thing I could wish for, is a better head angle.

    Very nice pose, well focused and exposed, clean background, all makes for a fine image.
