    Default Least tern - I have a little monster under my wing

    Since I saw this and took the image the Santana song plays in my head every time I look at this...called Put your Lights on.....here the little monster is under the wing, so that is how it plays in my head:).

    I will never forget the weeks spent with this colony and I will share some of the nicest moments I had with them....such as this one. I hope you guys like it.

    "Cause there's a monster living under my bed
    Whispering in my ear
    There's an angel, with a hand on my head
    She say I've got nothing to fear"

    Beautiful, Lorant. And the catch light made it for me. If it were mine, I would be tempted to crop a sliver from the bottom and clone out the dark spots at the top. Thanks for sharing this little cute fella.

    Love it Lorant and the words go beautifully with the subject. I'm with Adhika about a sliver off the bottom, but I like the darker bits at the top. I would, however, lose the dark spot on the RHS. It's a shame the little guy on the right didn't put his head out.

    You are indeed lucky to have spent time with the terns.

    Thank you for sharing!

    IQ on your bird is super, with a very pleasing FG & BG. Getting down low really helped here. I am looking forward to seeing the chick's head rather than it's fuzzy little butt!
