These newly arrived Common Terns are spending a lot of time courting. Eggs will follow shortly. You can see some reflection from the orange legs and the green-topped pilon on the underside of the plumage.
I cropped and dodged/burned in the BG to even out a little. Ran some NG on the BG (Noise Ninja) and standard sharpening applied at the end.
