Close the to skimmer colony there are terns nesting close. Liked the crushed shell ground which seems to be their favorite for nesting.
Comments welcome and much appreciated

Like the raised wings, the eye contact, and the gentle slope. The crushed shells are really nice too. Nice job!

Beautiful image Alfred. Love the composition and the excellent exposure and detail as well as the low angle. A real beauty !!!!
Excellent exposure, details, comp, all. Really love the crushed shells and the bg. TFS
Neat pose, good sharpness, exposure control and setting.
Love the crushed shells and the exposure is wonderful. Nice sharpness and the pose is great too.
Alfred, The shells really make this special to me. Nice exposure, pose and sharp details.
A very nice composition Al, but the crushed empty shells really adds to the setting, great.
BTW what was the comp, 0?

Post Production: It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use.
A beauty indeed. Love how the shells act as a giant reflector and light up the underside. The slight slope works very well in this image. Great pose captured.
this is winner all the way Alfred , Mighty fine image

Al, the shells take it over the top for me too - killer :D
Best,

Worked out well. I like the layers of colors all positioned well in relation to the bird.
... hi Steve I take the reading from the sky + 1 works out to neutral green foliage, this was probably + 1/3
Thanks Al. :)

love the pose, exposure and the triple band (shells, green, blue)...nice job Al!
Great whites and beautiful tricolor BG. raised wings a big plus :)
Excellent detail, alert wing up pose. Bg is lovely and I really like the shellscape. Very nice work!
Well done Alfred! I would like to point out that the foreground is not out of focus, and you did well with the F9. Why I mention this is that, in my opinion of course, OOF foregrounds, especially when they obscure important elements like feet, are rarely an asset. They occasionally do work if the subject appears to be suspended in a cloud, but this requires not just the back and front elements being completely OOF, but sides elements as well.
Good work as always!! regards~Bill

very nice Al, love the pose, these guys are more handsome than the Frosters!
