Catch of the day

[Grace Scalzo]

From a trip to Cape May, NJ, where I was hoping to photograph migrating warblers. They were not to be found but there was a cooperative flock of royal terns.

Very nice Grace. Good wingspread, and the clouds certainly add some interest to the BG. looks slighlty oversharpened (see halos).

[Grace Scalzo]

Thanks, Daniel. I have a desk job and I am finding that when I edit images at the end of a long day on the computer, I tend to over sharpen. Must change this habit, or find another job. :)

Sweet shot Grace nice angle of capture and very sharp the catch really puts it over the top. Thanks For Sharing.

Love the flight pose in this image Grace and the fish is a great bonus. Excellent eye contact and the clouds in the BG add a lovely touch to this capture. Congratulations on a beautiful image Grace.

Lovely in every respect. Good composition, and the flight pose and head angle are great. Beautiful capture!

[Lance Peters]

Love the feel to this one - lovely image - congrats :)

Has all the elements of a good image. BG works nice by the addition of the clouds, breaks up the tones. Angle of the bird just says "flight". Good resolution and colour density. Well done.
