Elegant Tern

[Doug Brown]

I just got back from Southern California, where I had the opportunity to photograph with Jim Salywoda. I got to see a number of life birds, this Elegant Tern being one of them.

Great light, pose and details. I only wish for a slightly more prominent catchlight.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Good job with this one, I like it as is. Great exposure control.

[Pramod Viswanath]

Beautiful! I echo Axel on catch light.

Many dream about such an image of a lifer :D
Excellent image. I love it a lot.
