Love the downward dorsal view, great detail, EXP, BG and yes the water droplets put this one over the top. Don't know how you managed to get this one HH with the 500 mm lens - quite a neat trick! Congrats, Doug.
Great angled dive pose, and I like the full wing spread. Super all round detail, well exposed and sharp. The Tern also just pops so well from the darker water. Great capture.
For me, it's the tension in a photo that really draws me in. And this one has plenty of tension Doug! And, as usual, the techs are spot on. The droplets add to the effect.
