De Soto Royal
Royal Terns always make great subjects to practice flight photography. At Fort De Soto they are so comfortable with people they will usually land close enough to fill the frame with a straight 500 and a full frame camera.
All comments welcome, thanks for looking.

Hey Robert,
Looks like it floating in the air man... Excellent capture!
Very nice!
Great landing pose, light and details. Maybe a bit more space below the bird?
Another beautiful image Robert, very well done.

Robert lovely light and exposure on this bird. The wings look like they belong on an angle.
I'm assuming that the horizontal line just touching the tip of the tail is possibly a wave crest?
Yes the line is a small wave and the bird is landing right at the water's edge.Originally Posted by Stephen Stephen
Thanks to all for taking time to comment.

Excellent exposure on the whites, and nice and sharp. I like the pastel colours of the BG. Great image.
