Congratulations Krijn Trimbos
Diving

As the fieldseason is nearing an end I have a little time to drive around to take photo's yet again. I found this common tern following a ditch that I was driving next to. Unfortunately the ditch was between me and the sun making it impossible to make nicely lit tern flightshots. As the ditch was nearing an end I had to think fast dailed in a K of 10000 and went for a sillouhette shot. At first my AF failed but caught on just in time to get this frame right before it dove down and caught a fish and flew off. I was happily surprised about the sunlit tail and the diving pose. Hope you like it too,
