I liked this image because the background was not the usual blue sky and I also liked the grasses below.

I like the comp of this Noelle. The grasses on the bottom are fine with me. Some may not like the wing BGD in the open beak, but it looks fine with me. Nice catchlight in the eye.
The image and composition rock, Noelle! Great IF capture, like the open beak pose, detail, and grasses are nice touch. Nice work!![]()
You are right about the grasses, Noelle, and if anything I wish you had even more canvas below. Beautiful tones throughou. Nice open bill pose, and you got a nice catchlight to make the eye visible against the very dark cap. HA could be a tad better. The image, as posted, is showing sharpening halos around the contour of the tern - and along the top of its' head. Overall well done!![]()
The BG and grasses make this one for me but open bill and wing position are also big pluses.
Very nicely done!
Another vote for more grass below.
Looking forward to the repost!
Thanks Mike!!
Ok, here is a re-post
I did sharpen a bit for web
Left more grasses and also cleaned up background as well as brightened it a bit.

Oh yes, the extra grasses add so much more to the image...killer repost! I wouldn't mid seeing the tern a bit more to the right, but this is super nice.
Ditto what Daniel said on the repost ... congrats again on a wonderful image!
What a beauty this is Noelle. Excellent work on the repost! Those grasses do add a lot.
I liked the repost...Excellent capture.
I will take a foliage BG to a sky BG any day. Good flying posture, sharp, and your repost has worked out so much better.
Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions![]()
