This looks great Isaac!! I was just shooting Terns last night with fellow BPNers Glenn Conlan, Doug Brown and Tim Foltz. We had lots of fun but the birds weren't as cooperative as they were a few weeks ago. We got some nice passes but we would have been stoked to get a Tern with a fish this big, and the fish has a great pose too. The couple shadows don't bother me much either.
Well done
Come join me for a Custom Raptor Workshop starting this November 2019- January 2020.
P.M. me to inquire on dates, pricing and availabilities. Thank You.

Isaac, Nice tern with prey, sweet BG, catchlight and sharpness. Looks like pretty much the same is going on here on the west coast but different terns.

Good one, Isaac. I agree about the near wing being only near-perfect; but the fish, background and sharpness all great.

Nice how we can see the fish's eye nice and sharp. Like the two toned background as well.

Nice one Isaac -- love the BG fish and detail. I see what you mean about the wing but it doesn't particularly bother me. Love that we can see the fish's eye. TFS

Love the subject, the fish, and the gorgeous BG. Detail is excellent, but whites look a little gray on my monitor.

Thanks Doug. I agree that the whites of the underwing are a touch gray. I assume you know that the belly of these birds is quite gray when they are in breeding plumage. Do you have a good technique to lessen the gray? Typically I would in selective color lower the black in the whites a bit. Also maybe dodge the whites at a low opacity.

What a great BG.
The fish with the eye in the viewer's direction makes this shot special.
Before I read Doug's comment, I too, thought the whites were a bit gray. I would deal with that exactly as you have said in pane #11.
Very nice ! I am OK with the near wing position.

Very nice flight shot Isaac, the angle is perfect and the expression on the fish puts the cherry on the cake.
I agree with the comments about the whites, sounds like you've already got a good plan to tweak it.

The whites on this tern were interesting. I went back and forth on it. As you can see the whites on the tail and on the line of white below the mask are nice and white. As are the leading edge of the wings. The belly is gray as it is supposed to be. But the underwing is a bit of an enigma. Seems grayer than it should but as the other whites are spot on I left it. I had the exposure correct so did very little to this bird in post. I guess I could go back and selectively whiten the underwings a bit. Thanks again for all the valuable feedback.
