Very interesting capture.

It might just be me, but the whole photo looks a little dark to me and would be better if lightened up a little.

Creative title for this shot. Nicely captured. The image looks a bit dark to me.

Looks like a lousy day out to bad the background was more blue and bright.

Thanks a lot for the comments thus far.
This shot was taken at sunset. On my monitor it didn't seem so dark.
I've just tried to brighten up a bit. Thanks again.

I like the comp and EV and really like the brighter exposure you just re-posted ! Great detail (on both) ends

Thanks for sharing!

Very interesting capture together with a very thoughtful title, Monica. I prefer the repost but both are fine. The far side wing tip does look very natural and was not a distraction for me.

I agree - a very fun capture- the Tern was quite the artist. Good post.

Recycling at it's finest.
Good one, Monica. The lighter version is great.

Funny shot Monica, especially with your title. Agree that the original was too dark and I much prefer the repost.

Monica,

The image made me laugh!

I prefer the repost as the original did seem too dark.
