Yellow-billed Tern

Here's a smaller tern from the Pantanal in Brazil. There are some sandbars in the rivers that we get out of the boat and do some shorebird photography, I was lying on my stomach to get this one.

Hello Nate...Looks like an interesting time ,with varied subjects. Like the detail especially you being able to show detail in blacks!
The clean background helps isolate the bird as well!

Excellent low angle work and a great job on the exposure, Nate.

Nate, I'll just affirm the previous comments. In a perfect situation, I would have enjoyed seeing the feet also, but your angle didn't permit that.

Well Nate, you will not be surprised that I love the angle of view enlightened

and the overall image as a result ! The contrast and details in het bird are excellent, whereas the surroudings have a nice soft touch. Basically, I love it al wat round. Lovely tern by the way with an enormous bill ! Congrats devil
