Dynamic pose Common Tern

Another one from my recent sessions with these birds. 7D, 500mm, f5, ISO640, 1/2000 ss. Processed in LR4 and PS CC

The water adds a nice touch.

Very nice wing pose and light.
I have a completely opposite opinion from Alan's. I would crop out the water surface with the drops as I find it weighs the image down. My eye goes to the LLC instead of the bird.
Wish that smudge of sand/water wasn't in front of the eye.

...and here's another opinion....how about more water? I think that including more, combined with the trailing water falling off your tern, would tell a more complete story.

Excellent pose indeed.
