A Good Provider

Least Tern returning with a snack for the nest sitter who is still on eggs. Cropped for comp and removed a few hot spots on the fish.

400ISO f5.6 at 1/4000th
AP minus 1/3

Great shot, nice and crisp, good definition in both the highlights and blacks.

The only thing I can see is that it might have benefited from stopping down to f/8 which would have given you a 1/2000 shutter and also brought the tail into focus (probably. might have to go down to f/9 or 11.).

That's a long fish! Out Terns have chicks already although there are some eggs left.
Very nice whites and pose, good to get the catch light on him too.
