    The ice storm destroyed the pier at Rondeau and the Forster's Terns took over the supporting posts.
    Thanks for looking.

    Hi Karl, you couldnt have captured a better wing extension, and overall sharp too. Well exposed around the eye - shows up nicely in the dark cap. I quite like the perch. Well captured.

    Agree re the pose and that weathered perch is great. Super shot, Karl.

    That's what I try to tell all "my" birds - if you're going to choose a sawed off perch, then choose a nicely weathered one like this :)
    Perfect timing for peak extension. Nicely composed and exposure looks great. There's a halo around the head that would be easy to fix. The subtle head turn adds to the success.
    Nice work Karl.

    Just drop-dead gorgeous! And wonderful detail and sharpness for hand held at that magnification.

    What would you think about adding a bit more on the right, or else cropping into the piling just a little? The crowding at that edge draws my attention away from the beautiful bird, but then I'm easily bothered.
