    Hey Jonathan

    What a beauty, lovely tones that are easy on the eye and fish is huge bonus. Great capture

    Super-sharp with natural colors and a neat sandeel. My only wish is that we had a better look at the dorsal surface of the near wing.

    with love, arite

    Jon, most of the frame is very nice - head, body and food are nicely sharp compared to some of your other Terns IMO. Love the single water drop and also that the fish is sharp and IF.

    Surely you know you could have boosted ISO drastically to get up to at least f7.1 and gotten more of the opposing wing and tip of the near wing likely IF.

    Otherwise, it feels too cool to my eyes. Pull into LR and pop +4 warmth and see if you like it, then make local adjustments accordingly.
