    Cool pose Denise. Looks like he is being chased: "Help me!"
    Like the wings up, the open beak and the sand splash at his feet, great moment.
    Perfect sun angle and composition.

    I'm so jealous. I still have not seen a tern chick. This is as cute as ever, and done well.

    Very nice image. Love the kicked up sand. Add to that, the open beak and wings up and you have a wonderful image. I like the vertical comp as well,

    Cute shot Denise.

    For me the raised foot really adds to this as it gives a sense of motion. Love the comp, and DOF was perfect.

    This one makes me smile. Lots of emotional appeal in this image. Lots of expression in that little chick. I like the loose crop.
