I like the pose and interaction. The whites look pretty good but the blacks on the top of the head could use more details, especially around the foreheads. Did you do something to clone the water/sand line? The area that goes back on both sides of the birds does not look right to me. Was it natural?
-
Hey Isaac, Nothing was cloned on this image.

Where was this taken? I've never seen sand so white! Cute interaction. It looks as if the smaller one is begging for food.

Hey Melissa, this was taken at Fort Desoto Park, St. Petersburg, FL.

Hey Isaac, If i remember right that lump of sand through the right terns neck is the left overs from kids digging holes and making sand castles on the beach. I was right next to the life guard tower on the southern part of the beach. Your repost and processing of the image is pretty nice. Thanks

Although the head angles are not perfect I love the interaction, especially the pose of the lower tern. If there was nothing between you and the terns then going even lower would have been better to lower the horizon line. I miss Fort Desoto and its clean white sand.......

I like your shot John, my firt thought was you must have been very close, I wonder if your angle would have been slightly better if you were that bit further away - perhaps not maybe the sand levels were uneven.

Head angles not bad. Both the WHITEs and BLACKs look OK to me. Nice job on the repost by Isaac. Was this image created in front of the East Beach parking lot?
