Diving

[Robert Kimbrell]

D4S 500 f4 & 1.7 tc
Iso 250, F8, 1/3200
Taken Oct 11th in Ft. De Soto. At a BAA. IPT. It was a great experience with excellent instruction. At one point the birds were diving as quick as I could shoot.

Hi Robert,

I really like the composition and it makes a great image even though the subject is not that big in the scene.
The bird looks nice and sharp an I like the colours.

Cheers,
Iain

A real beauty Robert! I like the setting with the sky and water being divided by the thin bit of sand. The subject placement in the frame is ideal. The bird is nice and sharp with a good diving pose. Would love to have this in my files.

You have constructed a pleasing image here. The diving pose works, esp with the comp you chose against that terrific BG.

Good comp and a lovely "Study in Blue".

Great use of space, and the composition with regards to placement of the horizon line is really nice. Sandwhich Tern no? Hardly ever see flight images of this species posted in the avian photography forums....I'm diggin it.

Thanks for the comments, Yes Shawn, it's a Sandwich Tern.
