The young Common Tern chicks seem to love the wind. They are at the point of testing their tiny wings. Flight can't be too far off.

Hi Joe, I really like the forward wing position, and how the bill follows the shape of the top of the wing. Love the dangling feet too. Im undecided about the plant - in one way, it balances the image, on the other, removing it wont harm at all.
I like the wing position, sharpness, details, feet and composition. Very well done Joe!
Stunning pose and wing position. I also like the dangling feet and sharpness. IMO plant should bet removed, will be interesting what others say.
Terrific shot!!
Excellent wing position and comp.
Very nice detail and I also vote on removing the plant.
Well done.
Absolutely superb image. Very nice wing position,nice head turn,details and beautiful composition. I like the small plant in the frame.
Love the frame.

Well done Joe this is a great image. I love the wing position and composition.
I don't mind the plant but it does occasionally distract my attention from the bird.
I also notice that some areas of the foreground are sharp and other areas are out of focus along the same plane. Is this due to something such as vegetation closer to the camera or something in the post processing? I don't think this detracts from the Image I am just curios for my own learning.
Joe:
The practicing pose is really neat, outstretced wings, dangling feet, angle in frame. Wish the near wing were down just a bit to give a cleaner look at bill, but minor.
I could see a version without the plant, as mentioned, and also one retaining the plant but lowering the saturation/luminosity just a bit so it visually recedes a bit more.
Great fun.
Cheers
Randy
Terrific pose and I vote to keep the plant!
I would clone out the faint OOF grasses that can just be seen on the RHS leaning in towards the center.
I too, am wondering if you did something to the FG or is that OOF blades of grass?

Excellent timing! really like pose. one more vote for retaining the plant
Very nice shot Joe. Love the view of the eye, the hanging little feet and the wing position. The techs look solid as dose the crisp detail. I like the plant. Well done
OOF Grass.Originally Posted by gail bisson
Wonderful capture, Joe. I love the wing position, shadow, full head showing. Great moment. I'm torn about the plant, but would probably keep it.
Excellent image, Joe. Good as is.
OMG Joe this is too sweet. Great timing and I love inclusion of the plant.
