Least Tern-Gift not accepted

[Lorant Voros]

I am going through some old files and came across this one. As many photographers I also have doubts about having 2 birds in the frame one isn't in focus. However, I keep this one, because it tells a story as the female isn't taking the gift and leaves the seen. I wish for more separation between the birds though. Comments are welcome.

I think it tells the story too and I get it. In some cases the oof bg bird works for me. I love shooting these guys and it aint easy

Good job capturing these guys. works good for me too

Works well for me! Nice action and story. I would only tone down the BG bird some as it is brighter and grabs some attention away from the FG subject.

Love the story this image tells. I think you did a good job and it works. A little separation would have been better but can't change nature. I would tone down the whites a little.
