    Default One Good Tern...

    ...deserves another. In this case another Forster's, also from Brigantine last Friday. Managed to capture this fellow nicely filling the frame in horizontal format without clipping wingtips. Here I decided to crop some off the right and add canvas to the bottom to make a vertical presentation and give him some diving room. C&C appreciated.

    Bill, I love the pose and think you framed it nicely. I like the deep blue BG. I love your title and opening line - it made me smile.

    Excellent shot! Sharp with lovely pose. Would add some canvas to the top and left as the tip of the wing is a bit too close to the corner IMO. Shadow on wing looks a bit strange- looks like it was manipulated as the edge is not as sharp and straight as it should be IMO.

    Good eye, Ofer. I did some PP work on the shadow, thinking it looked too harsh (the light had gotten somewhat harsh when I took this). Tried to soften the edge of the shadow but I think I overdid it. Good catch.

    Comp works well Bill, although maybe a tad tight ULC. Great wing position, well exposed and sharp.
