Forster's Tern Juvie #3 -- I think I see a fish.

[Bill Dix]

Love the poses these terns can give us. Another from Brigantine last week. Almost full height cropped from horizontal.

D7000, 500f4, ISO 640, 1/4000s @ f/7.1 manual, Gitzo and Mongoose.

WOW! You are rocking these terns. This is my favorite by far. Love the pose and the vertical comp.
My only nit is that the catchlight in the eye looks funny. Did you enhance it?

Thanks Gail. The catchlight is natural -- that is, there was a faint catchlight there -- but I did brighten it. I wondered if I had gone too far; I guess I did. Thanks for looking.

Here's a repost with some taming of the catchlight.
