Sweet capture Sridatta. Amazing timing and a unique and beautiful setting. Well done.

Very cool behavior image. It tells a great story and it's quite unique. While we have Forster's Terns here in Florida, they don't nest here.

great interaction and exp. A bit more room around would be preferable. Did you take this at MV shoreline park?

Thanks everyone for the comments!

Yes, it is taken in Shoreline Park. Unfortunately, I didn't have too much room left (also the reason for the non-standard crop). I added a bit of canvas to the right. Pls let me know if this is any better.

Nice color mix and sharp as can be - well done!

Repost is much better! Lots of nice bright colors and a unique viewpoint in that the bird is head on to the viewer.
I like the image as is but could see a version with the green vegetation under the birds left wing trimmed down ,

Great Image. I agree the repost with a little more room is better.

Not sure whether you meant left wing from the viewer's point or the bird's. I trimmed down both and here is how it roughly looks.

Beautiful action shot.
