Excellent, excellent action shot! And how perfect that the head is angled properly so we can see the terns' eye.
Love how sharp it is and the good view of the fish. If I had one little wish it would be a clearer look at the fish's eye.
I can understand why you chose this comp to include all of the water wake but if you have more room on the right I would include it as well.
The whites look good as well.
A fine image and well done,
Gail

You guys are killing it out in CA with these terns!! Terrific action/behavior captured here. Whites look great, and the fish and water spray are huge pluses. Although a unique composition, I like it but I also like Gail's idea of more on the right and maybe on top if you have it. Well captured.

Great job Sridatta! I have never see these guys with such a large fish. It really adds to the story. Baylands? I really love the water droplets too. Gives a good idea how fast the action is taking place. Your timing was perfect.

Great image... what has been said. Plus the fish makes the image IMO. great job!

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Here is another crop with more room on the right..

Great timing Sridatta. Good exposure and wonderful detail in the feathers. I like the RP.
