    Interesting composition, good sharpness and the tree in the BG adds interest. I also like the tilted head. The light looks a bit harsh but you handled it well.

    I feel like this one could be unconventionally cropped further top and right (about half the sky on ech of those sides). Good pose, ans I agree the tree adds interest. I'd may explore filling in the blue see-through area of sky within said tree.

    Funny. Dan and I almost always agree but when I looked at this one I thought "Crop from the bottom and the left." You gotta love bird photography.

    Very sharp. Is this a small, medium, or large tern? I would guess medium....

    Yep. I love it! I like your crop suggestion too, and I had thought of it too. I just figured this one worked well as an alternate "rule breaker" crop with the tree filling the whole left area nicely (and the slight head twist didn't hurt either):)

    This is so sharp Mital. Love the pose and I'd crop tighter. Experiment with different versions bhai and see which you like best. :) Love it and you handled the light well. :)

    I like this as is and also the oof tree in the bg. Makes the Tern stand out a bit more rather then just plain sky.

    The thing that really bugs me about the left edge is the bit of tree protruding into the frame middle towards the top. We need to remember that when you are lucky enough to get something neat in the background you pretty much get what you get. Then comes the crop....
