Forster's Tern with Food

[Jia Liu]

Canon 1D II, 300/2.8 + 1.4xTC, f/5.6, 1/2500, ISO 400

The bird was just out of the water with catch after diving, the old 1DII still did a good job catching the action.

Godd catching of the action. IMO the feet are a bit over-saturated. Whites handled very well, not blown even on the sunlit neck. Wish the shadow was not there and
the water was cleaner and thanks for sharing it!

[Arthur Morris]

Ditto Fabs other than the leg color--they can get very bright in breeding plumage. Love the flying droplets, the wing postion, and the perfect head angles: both the bird and the fish!

ps: A big time welcome. Where are you from and where was the image created?

[Julie Kenward]

Beautiful fan of the feathers, Jia. Nice wing position and lots of great action!

[Gyorgy Szimuly]

Good to see you here posting your images.
Nice image presented here. Despite the top lights whites are quite ok as you are lucky with the wing pose. :)
Colors look ok for me.

You captured the peak of the action Jia. The water droplets and the fish make the image for me. A better light angle or softer light would have helped.

I like the flight angle, and great action captured with the sprayed water droplets. Good exposure, and the catch a bonus.

Great action captured here... The water droplets add well to the frame.. congrats..
