    Fernandina Beach. Handheld 20-D, 100-400L, 1/1250, f8,
    ISO 200, @330mm. No editing at all. Think I might sell my Photoshop LOL. Even ordinary birds are beautiful.

    The pose of the bird is good, and your crop is nice (hey, that is editing!!). Knowledge and use of photoshop, or other post-processing software is a must for any serious photography enthusiast. I can see a few areas it would be useful for here, such as punching up the colors a bit, toning down the brighter highlights in the BG, and applying a round of USM. I realize it may have been tongue-in-cheek, but don't sell your Photoshop! :)

    NIce pose and eye contact, Barry. I would add a bit more room on the left, sharpen a bit and use some shadows/highlights to bring out more details in the shadows and tone down the highlights.

    Nice angle and like the look. Comp looks good, but the tail looks a little hot. This looks like a Ring Billed Gull to me.

    What sort of Tern is this? It looks like some kind of gull to me.! However, it is a pleasing image and I love that eye.
