    Frank:

    Well exposed, fish with eye showing great, pleasant bg, nice display of far wing, bill and tail.

    In a perfect world, wish he was banked a bit towards us so the near wing would show better.

    How big of a crop?

    Cheers

    Really like the BG and the fish.Always a bonus when you can see the eye of the fish.
    Just wish for a better position of the near wing

    Frank do not have a decent flying bird shot so it's hard for me to critique ,looks great seeing the whole fish and the bird looks good.

    The BG is really nice and very nice IQ.
    Wing position noted, but nice fish....

    Love the BG, lighting and visible eye, the bonus fish takes this above the norm as well Frank.

    Hi Frank, great in flight shot of the tern showing off his catch. Stunning colours to the BG.
