    Great exposure, low angle, and behavior. Too bad about the slightly OOF seaweed. Well done Troy!

    Exp, shooting angle and comp are spot on for my taste...Also the kelp balances the comp nicely. Nice image Troy

    Very nice Troy! Least tern is my favorite.

    Looking forward to the birds you capture while you are away.

    I am bringing my 300mm on this trip, will meet up with a few photographers over there, hope to do some shooting and get some shots there. We will see.
    Will try to meet up with you guys when I am back.

    Very nice Troy, and interesting pose with open mouth and feather. Like the low angle, and comp. I might crop bit off bottom as the FG does not add a whole lot to image. Nice work, and I also look forward to seeing some great images from your trip to SEA. Enjoy!

    Agree about cropping a bit off the bottom. Nice dynamic shot. I wish I could see the feet. I like the kelp and how it balances the image out. Very nice Troy,

    Sweet behaviour shot! Since the stuff on the right doesn't really add to this image I would go tighter - something like this...
