This guy was really trying hard to win a mate with his fish offerings. Eventually it paid off and he got down to making some more terns in earnest. :cool:

Hi Rob
great shot with plenty of detail in the plumage. I like the thin edge of grass and the BG sets it off beautifully. The Fish is the icing on the cake. :toast:

Hi Rob, I like the limited number of colours and the exposure looks excellent :smile: like the pose also.

Cracking shot.

Maybe atad to much contrast or saturation(i find the grass and the leg colour abit over powering).

Other than that :toast:

What a beauty! Although I agree that the orange of the beak and legs is a bit strong.

Good shooting.
