    Default Least Tern Bathing

    I had previously posted several frames of this bathing Tern, in a tide pool on Plum Island a year or so ago, so I had to dig deeper into the files to come up with this one for the theme.

    D7000, 500f4 + 1.4 TC, ISO 800, 1/2000s @ f/7.1 manual, fill @ -1.7.

    Lovely bathing scence, Bill. Great light and I love the water spray. Good exposure of both the black and white. Loi

    Superb detail, specially in the head. Love the sharpness there. I think the image needs a bit of clockwise rotation to straighten up.

    Very nice detail and composition, Bill. Beautiful quality of light. Agree image might need a tad of clockwise rotation.

    Outstanding capture, Bill! Excellent POV, colors, HA and exposure. Agree with the above comments re. a slight CWR. TFS

    Thanks everyone. I'll go back to the uncropped file and take a look at rotation. Curiously, the reflection seems vertical, but I agree that the water looks like some rotation is appropriate.

    The sharp head and the water flick off the wing makes this for me. Nice details and exposure. Yes to some rotation. Love these cute little Terns. Well done Bill
