common tern

[Hillebrand Breuker]

I love these birds. They are always screaming and shouting. Lots of fights and other action. I photographed these birds at Texel. This is the biggest Dutch Isle.

Excellent Hillebrand Love the position of both birds particularly their intense staring Sure would like more room at the bottom bird seems cut off

Very good exposure and all very sharp MIght remove the couple of prominent round dark areas on the upper part of the frame !!!

Great action and good exposure. Terns are always doing something interesting. I wish the wing feathers weren't going right across the face - though some folks might like the effect of the spread-apart primaries. If it were mine, I would clone the rock (I think?) in the background that touches the lower bird's wing.

Super action shot agree with Al.

Like this image a lot. Agree with Al's suggestions on improving it. Thanks for sharing!
