Common Tern

Antino, This is the image I have been trying for since I learned about the terns exchanging fish. I like the sharp FG and OOF BG, it sets up the terns for me. I just added that this is a great exposure in capturing the detail in the whites.

Antino, I really love the action you managed to capture on this shot! I am not sure the action can actually get much better! Love the exposure you managed on the whites, but the blacks look a touch dark to me. I might try to lighten the blacks and shadows a smidgen to bring out more details and to show the eye in the tern on the right better. But all around terrific capture!

Love the poses, one with wings up and one wings folded. The interaction makes for a very interesting image. Great techs.

Nicely exposed to catch detail in the whites and wonderful behavioral shot over all, well done Antonio :^)

Very cool. I like the interaction, but the setting is also interesting with the grassy foreground and distant shoreline just discernible. It looks like you might have had to sharpen this a little more than you would have liked, see some artifact around their heads. However the fish in the middle looks great, so maybe you were just trying to bring out the catchlight?

Wonderful interaction that you have captured here! I like everything about this! Gary is right that there does seem to be a halo effect from the sharpening but you can hopefully correct that.

Great image of this shared meal. Nice detail in the left bird. THe orange beaks and legs really add a nice pop.

Very nice shot in getting this encounter, I like the grass and shoreline in the background, nice job getting this in very bright light, way to go.

I just learned about this behavior and it is so fun and cute and even funny. Nkice action and sharp too.
