    From a small Arctic Tern colony from 2 years ago, Spitsbergen. I had some luck with the parents flying in to their nests past a rock formation which gave me some oppertunities for flightshots with a different BG.

    Great pose, details, exposure control and BG. I also like the fanned tail and would try to lighten the dark part of the chest.

    I like the colour of the BG against the tern, and you got adequate seperation of the eye within the black cap. All in all a beautiful flight image.

    Sharp and well done with a lovely and different BKGR. The shadow under the near wing bugs me a bit.
