    Natural light. Nothing cloned out, background natural. Normal levels adjustments, sharpening, and a small amount of noise reduction in the background.

    Hi Ryan, Nice HA and wing position and I really like how the BG does not intersect the Tern.

    Ryan, really like the DOF and pleasing colors. Wonderful detail on the tern's body; water droplets... I have same camera, lens, and was at Chatham yesterday. Terns gone, ducks galore! TFS

    Nice flight pose and composition with gorgeous BG colors!

    The blue part seems to have some "splotches". Any idea what caused them?

    I like the light and the BG. Eye contact is good. I would sharpen the visible underwing and consider some CW rotation.

    Nice detail on the body and catchlight on the eye is nice. I also agree with Doug's comment about CW rotation.

    Lovely image Ryan, I would try crop a bit more, find the bird a bit small in the frame. I like the head angle, really like the BG colours and eye contact TFS

    I like how you have placed the bird in the frame. Nice colors and BG blur. HA is very good with natural catchlight in the eye. The splotches in the blue is an issue....JPG compression perhaps.
