Double Dive - Elegant Terns

[Jim Neiger]

Orange County, CA - 1D Mark IV, 500mm, 1/2500, F6.3, ISO 400, manual exposure, hand held

Single bird dive is already very difficult to get sharp, and you got both, in the same frame, with good head angle, and did i mention the pleasing background! Simply amazing.

[Steven Kersting]

Excellent!

Awesome shot, Jim. Very skilful capture. excellent poses, both within DOF and perfect whites. Good thing the black band isn't intersecting the body and wing of bird at the bottom.

[Mike Milicia]

Very cool and expertly captured, as usual!

If you've got the room, I might try more room at the bottom and a bit less room on the left for a more vertical crop.

Crazy good shot. Incredibly sharp for both birds,
doesn't get much better.

[arash_hazeghi]

excellent shot Jim, dynamic pose and both sharp

[Stu Bowie]

I like that both Terns have different diving postures, and that both are sharp. Whites look good too. Not an easy shot to pull off, so very well captured Jim.

[Karl Egressy]

Fantastic flight shot, Jim.
