Ron,
I like the tern's wing position, the fanned out tail, background and the prey in the bill.

Ron:
I'm a little surprised that the tip of the beak, head, and outer extremities of the bird's right wing are all in focus at f4. The yellow tips of the beak really stand out against the dark BG and I like wing and tail positions plus, of course, the fish in beak. Neat action shot.

Excellent freezing of the wing action. DOF is perfect.

A great action shot Ron. Very nice sharpness and the BG is great. I only wish for a more defined eye to complete a very nice image.

Great wing position here Ron. The larger version of course shows more detail around the eye , and the fish meal. Nice action !
