Excellent, especially hand held from a kayak.

I was out photographing birds yesterday and was thinking of ways I could shot from a low perspective, so I am glad to see your's. Well done!

Nice. This would look like a motion blur if I tried to hand hold a 500 with a 1.4.

Perfect POV and SS for this image, Simon. Very nice profile and light. I feel the tern is too centered in the image. Perhaps a tad more space to the right?
