Caspian Tern

[Jim Crosswell]

This was taken at St Pete Beach in Florida. I clipped the low wing tip so I added canvas on the bottom and a little on our right. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

Nice Image, Jim. I love this fly pose and the nice BG. Exposure is great

Very nice.

Jim, I really like this image. Tern is perfectly placed in the frame, and the banking angle is just great. The head is clear of both wings and I think the far wing angle helps hold my eye in the image. Nice soft background accentuates the bird nicely.

Hi Jim - nice flying pose. The bg works well. Good job on the wing tip and canvas.

TFS,

Nice exposure, pose, soft light and subtly varied BG. Excellent bird placement, size in frame and comp. Nice work Jim.
