Sanwich Tern

[Lorant Voros]

While photographing the terns in flight this one landed next to me and gave me this pose trying to chase away another tern wanting it's spot on the perch. I did not have much time to adjust setting, but I could turn on my flash and dile the exposure compensation.

Great calling pose and comp works nicely.

Well done Lori. Really appealing portrait. The calling makes the shot much stronger.
Great stuff!

Fun image. Nice and sharp, interesting details.

[Shawn Zierman]

Excellent portrait...full of life and expression....Love sandwich terns. Nice flash work too, it adds a bit of sparkle without being too much in this case.

Elegant composition and killer pose. Nothing not to like here.
