    Default Common Tern Hovering

    As I had applied for and received a permit to shoot in a tern breeding colony last year, I was able to get some neat shots that I wouldn't typically have been able to aces.

    This particular shot is of a common tern hovering above it's nest, just after it had dropped off a sand eel for it's partner to feed to their newly hatched chick.

    The light was still a bit harsh, but I liked the wing configuration on this particular image.

    Nikon D2Xs, 500 AFSII lens and TC14EII TC, f8 @ ISO 320

    Well done but oversaturated. I too like the wing postion. DeSAT the reds and lighten the sky a bit and it will be much improved IMHO lal, artie

    ps: A bit off of the bottom would not hurt.

    While I hadn't considered it, I will become more of a non violent person when posting :)
