Cracking shot Guy

I even like the cloud in the BG, which IMO looks like a fat bird in flight

Maybe a pop of flash to light the eyes and underneath the bird but nice as is-was this from the farnes

Hi Guy,

Lovely shot! Brilliant cloud. Maybe flash might have worked liked Dave said - however a stunning shot nonetheless.

Hi Guy,

A real beauty , agree on the flash suggestion , cloud looks like slimer out of Ghostbusters

Regards

Corker of a shot Guy

Perhaps -2 or -3ev fill flash would have put a catchlight in the eye, but it's not something you always think of is it

Great job

Hello and thanks for your comments.

Hello Dave yes the Tern was taken on the Farnes.

I have added a repost to show the detail in the black area of the head, as it just seems to get lost on these small image sizes. Hope this helps.

Guy, I take it back - it's obviously one of those images that just doesn't reduce well - the definition at full rez is spot-on - grand stock image
