You certainly set a high standard Arash. I can just feel that action. Splendid.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Absolute cracker!!!

[adrian dancy]

Cracking shot...superb pose and techs.

[Jim Crosswell]

Great image Arash! I like the action, wing/tail positions, catch, IQ and composition.

[Colin Knight]

Great! Are you bating these guys? They all have the same food. Awesome splash and tail feathers

[Humberto Ramos]

This one is the best shot i'v seen of tern's, great actions, food in the beak, great eye contact, and spash's...
Excellent shot...

[arash_hazeghi]

Thanks everyone

Hey Colin, this is a different bird but they like sushi ;)

[Lorant Voros]

Yes, better than the previous image and that was a winner too. Fantastic action and power here. Good job, Arash on the sushi choice...they must love it.

Thanks Lorant but that was sarcasm. you can't bait terns I have never baited a bird. Just for the record

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Arash, great 3D effect in this, a what a killer flight pose. You really nailed this one.

All has been said above, but let me add my congratulations. What a stunning pose!

[rajojomanik]

I think this is the first time I've seen this pose, it's one **** of a shot Arash.

[Grace Scalzo]

Superb! THe pose is one not often (ever??) seen, and you nailed it.

[Stan Cunningham]

Ditto, if you like to enter contests, I would sure include this one.

Nothing else to add. Love the flight position and angle.

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Huge WOW factor...stating the obvious, I know :-) the tail of the Forster's in greeding plumage is quite stunning...and especially so in this one with that dynamic pose. great head position with that catchlight in there.

[dankearl]

I laughed when I opened this. It is ridiculously good even for you.
Topping this one will be tough to do.
Congrats on a super shot.
I can actually see the IQ difference shooting the 500 w/ no tc.
It is stunning.

[Melissa Groo]

Wow, what a dynamite pose and image! It's really over the top, Arash. Congratulations. It's just stunning. Can't think of a way to improve it or a thing to change. Just perfection!

[Ofer Levy]

This is one of the more dynamic poses I've seen, and water splashing adds alot to an already stunning image.

[Tom Rambaut]

This is amazing Arash - best of the best! Love the water drops and the curve of the tail feathers.
