Reflection of a Young Tern

[Doug Brown]

Another image from the workshop. There wasn't a whole light of light in the early morning of my first day in So. Cal. High key is a nice way to pass the time while waiting for the good light.

Doug:

I would say your time was well spent. Excellent full up wing display, calling pose, water flying.
Reflection adds.

Cheers

Looks pretty good for poor light, I like the composition, high key and open bill.

[James Salywoda]

I like the open bill and wing position captured considering the crappy light we had you did real well with the shot I like your choice for composition.

The calm water was nice and helped with the reflection. There are worse ways to spend a morning than at the wetlands, regardless of the lighting conditions. :)

Good sharp detail and I'm glad you included the reflection. The high key works nicely here.

[Nico Steenberg]

Great timing and exposure Like the reflection and open beak. Well done !

[Arthur Morris]

Darned nice. Was it fishing? Does it need a bit of CW rotation?
