Common tern

[Alex Becker]

Hi all,

A tern taken at the Jersey Shore this past summer in the early am. Very minor edits, cropped about 20%, cloned out a small 2nd catchlight in the eye.

Camera: Nikon D500
Lens: 200-500mm f/5.6 at 500mm
Specs: 1/3200 ISO 560 f/5.6

Thanks for looking and commenting on prior posts!

Nice wing position with a good fish.

Great pose and wing position, great light, great background. Bonus fish in bill. This is a pretty nice frame Alex. The only thing I'd play with is the composition where I'd be tempted to go more pano with a little off the bottom and more off the top. Nice work all the same and one I'd be happy to have in my portfolio.

Great light hear Alex ( although if you have room to bring down the brightest whites a bit I would try to do so) with a nice V wing composition and I like the bright bit across the bottom of the BG --getting one with a fish dinner and a spark in his eye is a bonus .

Cool with the fish in the bill. I love the foot showing. I would crop a bit more top and left. Man, the shadow on the far wing is unfortunate. Still a pretty nice frame you got here.
