    Hi Lorant, these terns are not easy but you have a very nice image with wing detail. I would wish for more of the catchlight and a tighter crop... TFS

    Very nice. You gotta love when you catch them hovering. I'd love to see the bird dead centered here as there is no reason to put it anywhere but right in the middle :) It looks as if it might need a bit of rotation but I cannot figure out which way!!! There are reasons for both CW and CCW...

    Lorant, very nice. Love the pose with open wings, with good detail, and splayed tail. I rather like the crop as posted. The LHS wing runs diagonally across from the corner and you have given him plenty of room to fly into.

    Very cool flight/hovering pose captured here Lorant, and I really like the gray sky to set off the lovely white of the Tern. I agree with Artie's crop suggestion to put it dead center. Lovely image, well done.

    Awesome, Lorant. That underwing detail is so gorgeous and the tail spread is also making it really outstanding. I like the rotation as is, but I agree about putting this bird dead center.
