Excellent pose and great eye contact here.
Great wing position, fanned out tail and HA. Great image Judy!
Nice exposure and BG. Love these flight shots as verticals. Beautiful!!!!
Very nice image.
Although beautiful detail on the entire bird, the detail of the tail feathers is what I notice most.
Also like the wing span/composition.

You nailed this banking angle Judy. Difficult characters to get decent wing positions. Only way to go with the comp, and wish there were more clouds.

Excellent light, bank position, details and exposure. excellent Judy!

Lovely pose and very sharp.
I also like the very nice exposure.
Really well done and good for you.
Judy, nothing to suggest here I am sorry :-) bang-on exposure, pose and comp.
I love the fanned tail, vertical banking pose and spot on exposure.
Only negative which has nothing to do with the image itself, sensor spot right side about 1/4 of the way up.
Hi Judy, Love the feather detail and your blue sky looks great and not too blue.

Hey comadre, you did real well here, great pose and whites. It was so nice to see you!
This is a very nice flight shot. I love the pose and the outstretched wings and tail. The BG and light are awesome. Congrats!
Lovely shot Judy! Fantastic pose!!!
What a wonderful shot. This is one of the best shots I have ever seen of these birds.
Judy this is spot on. You've really presented this species so accurately. They are such big and powerful terns compared to species like Commons and Forster's, and you've portrayed that perfectly here. Exposure is perfect, and I love the vertical crop.
Terns are one of my favourite subjects. Love the spreadout pose presented here plus the sharpness, details and great light.
Totally loved this Judy, nice eye contact, loved the expo, clean BG and eye contact makes this a winner.. congrats..
You love those banking Royal Terns, don't you? Beautiful, Judy.
Judy, Beautiful banking shot. Details and exposure are great!:)

superb pose and really impressive detail in the feathers in both the white and black portions.
