Elegant Terns

It was great fun working the Terns with Doug Brown and Jim Neiger and the other workshop particpants
The courting behavior is a sight to see and photograph.

Man, James, that is the one-two punch with that wing position. Looks like they just came through a snow storm....need to turn the wipers on. Neutral blue palette behind them very nice and the lowered head on the upper bird looks cool. Anyway, those wings......

Lovely flying duo that could go a little lighter to my taste and wish we could see the eyes better.
Glad you had a grand time, you should come to Florida sometime :)

Just loved those shades of whites with those streaks of orange Bhai... very nice feel to this...

[Doug Brown]

Excellent courtship interaction! I'm with Kiran; love the splashes of orange! Thanks again for your help, and see you in a few.

I love the overall effect produced by the shape of the 2 birds together, and the high key effect of the overall picture. I'm impressed with the sharpness too. A great image!
