    Terrific frame of the 2 terns. The one on top has beautiful form. Is there any way to bring out more catchlight in its eye?

    Thanks for that Marina. I had a good look at the head on the top tern, and the eye is so dark it is hardly showing. I agree though, a catchlight on the top tern would make a big difference.

    Basically what said above, Will. Love this shot a lot. I love the tail on that top one.

    Great shot Will I like it very much good to see the interaction. I may even consider putting a hint of a highlight in the uppermost tern.

    Thanks for the comments Hi Jon it was in my thoughts about the catchlight, zooming real close I couldn't even make out the eye, so just left it as is.

    I thought the position of the shadows actually helped the look of the image
