Here's a Caspian Tern from two years ago in Cape May, that I don't think I ever posted. He was performing aerobatics over the pond at the hawkwatch platform, just as the sun was beginning to set, and offered a number of good poses. This one is cropped from the horizontal.
Good angles pose and in some sweet low light. The vertical crop is OK, but I could see a version with about half the empty space below trimmed away (although that would make for a big crop combined with what you already shed from the original frame). Did you clone anything along the top, or am I seeing some posterization?
The light and the white feathers look great Bill.
I like the wing position.
I am not sure about your crop. I think I would like to see this as a landscape with more room in front,

Thanks for the comments. Here's another crop option. And Daniel, yes I did remove an oof sitting duck near the top, and working over the dark bg probably produced some posterization. Hopefully this got rid of it.
