Common Tern

[Karl Egressy]

These small and very fast flying Terns are excellent fishing birds.
Unfortunately most of the time hoards of Gulls bully them until they drop the fish.
Thanks for looking.

Nice to see the eyes of the bird and the fish alike. I tried to shoot terns with fish and it isn't an easy task. Well done.

Lovely 'clean' feel about this shot (probably because of the nice soft BG). The fish is as clear as can be. Nice one, well done!

love the fish, wish the near wing was all the way down. IQ isn't great head and fish both look a bit noisy as a result of over sharpening.

This is excellent Karl!
Love that the fish is facing our way.
Only improvement I can think of would be to see the near wing all the way down.
Good one!

Love the meal. Bird isn't totally working for me due to wing position, noise . That being said, I would rework the processing and certainly keep this one in my files.

I like this one Karl, nice timing just before parallel.

The angle seems a little steep and as mentioned, the front wing is not in an "ideal" pose.
Tough job on your hands Karl, and you still managed a decent enough keeper.
The fish looks great and adds interest for sure.
Well done!
