Hi Artie, I saw this image on your blog. I liked it then and like it now. Nice action, the close-up shows the squabble for the crab. Thank you for sharing.

Artie:
Dramatic, tightly cropped, beautifully exposed. The expression on the right bird looks pretty fierce, even though it turns out he was giving her a present!

Love the behavior and action Artie! This is especially nice close up. Good comp, is this full frame? If so even more impressive!

Nice action, my only reservations are that there doesn't appear to be any details in the blacks and the bills, they appear slightly smooth or smudged. Given the SS I find this a little puzzling.

Huge crop... You always pay the price.

Works for me Artie. Great action, pose and details. I'm fine with the blacks, but noticing a slight white halo over both heads.

The huge crop held up well, all things considered. I know you do not normally like shadows on your subjects, but here I do feel the crab's shadow projected onto the tern's neck is pretty neat. Awesome action :-)

Thanks Arash. You are seeing the meat of the crab because it is a soft shell.
