Lovely image Fabs. Pretty bg, nice soft light, and a good flight pose. You even got a good head angle on the minnow!

This photo is to die for...with the fish so sharp, that one drop of water, water fades to horizon...nice..

[Dick Glover]

Outstanding, Fabs. The composition resulting from the wing angles, and your placement in the frame is just terrific. And all the technicals look right on. Nice job and thanks for sharing.

What makes this one for me is the perfect pose of the fish! That and the single drop of water. Very nice Fabs!

Sweeeet image Fabs, love the soft colors and light and the small fish in the beak is fantastic and, of course, that tiny water drop floating on the air. Great :-)

Perfect eye level image. Lovely wing position.
The small fish is a nice addition. I like it.

Silky smooth and the little fish adds nicely! Well done on a fine image!

[Aidan Briggs]

Excellent all around. Wish we had those guys around here.

Well done!

[Indranil Sircar]

Excellent composition. I like the wing position and the direction of the light that makes the fish stand out.

[Bryan Erb]

Sweet shot, nice detail, composition. Love the fish, and the single drop of water.

[Stu Bowie]

Fabs, super comp, and love the posture with the extended wings. You have exposed this very well, sharp, and his catch a bonus.

[Jasper Doest]

Very pleasing photograph Fabs and one of the nicest sandwitch tern's I've seen. The warm light with that light blue water works very well and the little fish is a nice touch.

Fabs,

Great detail and colors. Like the sharpness of the bird, minnow and tip of the bill especially where it turns orange.

Thanks for sharing....
