    Pretty frame Bill! The wing position trumps all else IMO, but the feather detail and open mouth/calling add as well. White on the soft blue/gray bkg works great!

    Hi Bill, love the calling post and the wing position and background. On my screen if you lowered the blacks a bit I think you might get more detail in those areas. Lovely image, thank you for sharing.

    Great vocal flight capture, Bill. Really like how the background sets off the bird in that wonderful light. Like that you left the two errant feathers on the terns right wing. Great wing and tail positions.

    The screaming pose is great. Nice detail on the bird. Like that water background as well.

    Bird cracks on the darker BG, and the calling pose is a nice bonus. Wings are really pretty too. Excellent exposure. I might add a faux catchlight to the eye to make it pop a bit more. With the head against the body, it just takes an extra half second for the subject and reader to connect.
