Landing Common Tern

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I made this at Nickerson Beach, the Terns were busy feeding the chicks.

1D4, 500f4, 1.4x, 1/1600s, f/6.3, ISO 400, manual exposure, cropped from horizontal

Axel:

Nice techs, exp., sharpness. Great wing position, landing pose, food item.
Background just about perfect, gives strong sense of environment without distracting.

Might consider a bit more room on left.

Very nice.

I need to learn some more processing Bhai... very beautiful done, nice pose, details and the BG works well

[Stu Bowie]

Good job on the overall exposure, sharp, and I like the landing posture. Lovely soft light, and I like the BG too. Well captured.

[Krijn Trimbos]

Again nicely done Axel. cool catch and nice detail throughout. Nice BG as well.

[Fabs Forns]

Ons of my favorites of your Terns settees, love the painterly BG, EXP control and detail. Catch a big bonus.

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

[Scott Frye]

Lovely picture I like the feet in the "landing gear down position" and the background is gorgeous

[arash_hazeghi]

very nice Axel, everything is great, I would prefer more room on the left and just slightly darker blacks. well captured TFS

[Simon Bennett]

A beauty Axel.

[Arthur Morris]

You have the recipe for these down pat. You should bottle it and sell it. My favorites part? The feet and the fish.

[Ofer Levy]

Excellent image!! My only comment is that selectively brightening the eye gives it an un-bnatural look.

[Nico Steenberg]

Great sharp detail and IQ. Like the pose, soft colours in the bg and glint in the eye. Subject is well exposed with good natural colours. Well done !

You nailing them left right and center !
