    Taken a few months ago at Fort Desoto. Definitely one of my favorite places and the terns were quite active.

    Sharp, perfect EXP, and nice wing position though I would like to have seen the far wing raised higher (as you would likely have too). They have now roped off the entire eastern half of the main lagon including The Point. Still a great place, but.....

    Like it a lot Judy, but there is a yellow cast to the image. Here's a repost with a color balance adjustment where I pushed the yellow-blue slider to +30. What do you think?

    Love the Tern washing up and the little drops of water.
    I think Dougs adds some blues back to the photo but makes it a bit too cold looking for my taste

    Maybe somewhere in between

    Thanks Doug for your repost. Nice work and I appreciate your time. This was taken in the early morning when the sunlight was golden and everything appeared to have a slight golden cast to it. Again thanks.

    Well exposed Judy, sharp, and love the detail on the upturned wings. I feel this needs a slight CCW rotation. Well captured.

    Judy,

    This is most excellent. Love the colors especially the bill and water drop.
    Thanks for sharing....

    Judy, I like the composition and timing of the image. Love that water droplets floating on the air and the shooting angle :-)

    Judy, lovely pose and excellent composition. I like the color temperature of the original. Doug's repost is too blue IMO. Nice capture.
