    Lovely image. Wish for catch-light on top bird's eye and regret shadow from fish on bottom bird - but never get it all - right. Dig the bkg.
    TFS.

    Super shot John, exposure is excellent and the low viewpoint really brings the activity to the fore. I really like the plumage detail.

    Great pic, light catch in the eye seems to always be a problem with Terns, but enough other great things going on to make up for it, well done

    Good capture with the comments above noted. Sometime a bit of life can be extracted from a tern's eye with a bit of digging.

    So sweet John. Behavior, exposure, short depth of field and food in mouth are just awesome.

    Beautiful choice of comp, beautiful canvas!

    Fantastic frame! The top bird's wing position is perfect, and the food exchange right at peak action. I'd be OK with a bit more saturation, kudos for a top-notch image.
