I have always liked this wing position because it shows how fast they are.
Great to see the eye on both species.
The clouds really help the BG .
Sun a bit high but not an image killer.
You must had increased the saturation of the blue sky because you have an imperfect triangular selection between the 2 wings where the sky is white. Also see some blue on tip of feather on near wing.Easy fix.

Hi Jon, nice and clean, black & whites look nicely controlled and cool to have the fish.
Love the transition of the 'powder blue' sky and again, the blue appears spot on. Agree with Gail re those two areas, masking and perhaps the other part of the wing behind??? Detail is far better than previous, albeit you could tease out a fraction more to add a bit more definition in the wing. My only thought would be to blow in some more colour over the back to hide the cloud. Could you use a CPL or drop-in to aid capture????
Looks like things are finally falling into place and you will be all set for November.

Gail, Steve, yes hands up I messed up the mask there! I had done several versions trying to teas out the detail and remove the blue from the plumage, should have left it until this morning before posting.
Never thought about a polariser Steve - something to bear in mind. Probably no opportunities this year now have to wait until next, most of the birds had gone when I went.
Indeed Jon, taking some new stuff out next month and awaiting Canon also to call me, will let you know on my return.Never thought about a polariser Steve - something to bear in mind.
Yes but no interest in Canon anymore thanks anyway.Originally Posted by Steve Kaluski
Jon, I am aware you have move to Olympus, therefore what I will be using mainly might have been of interest, but not to worry.Yes but no interest in Canon anymore thanks anyway.
Very nice Jon...Love the colours throughout the image. Nice detail on the bird, with a lovely flight pose.

Nice view of this tern and the fish. Like the sleek look of the wing. The blue sky with clouds is nice as well.
Prey adds to the image. Wing position is nice.
Light is less than Idea but still this image works well.
