Caspian Tern

[Karl Egressy]

The bird flew by between me and the island.
I kind of like the background created by the island, lit by the morning sun.
The close wing has the reflection of the water which makes it look funny.
Thanks for looking.

Like the sharpness and the unusual BG. Good detail in the blacks. Would have liked a slight head turn towards us. And I might move the bird slightly lower in the frame, as the wing is very close to the top of the image.
