Time Out

Found this royal tern having a rest and the lighting was still good so was able to get a few images of these little beauties. Taken at Fort Desoto.

Beautiful shot. The light is still good and the composition excellent. I love the head angle. It shows the impressive bill of the tern.

This is so nice, full of the feeling that you imply with your title. Lovely light, great low angle, just beautiful all the way around.

Great angle and exposure control. I might remove or lighten the shadow of the bill.

Agree with the others, a fantastic image! The bonus you got to hang out on a beach in Florida and take pictures!

very very nice Judy., amazing shot.

[Juan Aragonés]

Love it. Fantastic low angle and eye contact. I like a lot the impact of that fantastic orange bill on the almost white and black image.
