Very nice,

I love these "Angel wing" shots of terns. If possible I would be tempted to dial in some anti-clockwise rotation to straighten things up, but it is a very nice shot as it stands :toast:

Nice capture Craig , wing and tail position are very nice , would like a little more room to the left which will give a nice diagonal from wing tip to tail tip , good work :smile:

Gorgeous! Agree more space would be good, but that's very minor.

Superb - maybe slightly more room and a slight rotation might improve it a tad but they are really minor nits.

Yes a very nice shot, beautifully captured. Agree with the minor nits above, I could see this making a really great print for the wall. :toast: :toast:

Hi Craig,

What a beautiful angel! Love everything about it! A touch more room to the left would make this a killer!

Lovely image Craig, agree with previous nits (minor) but still a great shot.

Awesome capture Craig :toast:

If you put a lot of CCW rotation in then the birds eyeline will be all wrong - it's best left as it is and you get back there and position yourself to get the action straight down the lens barrel.

Brilliant action :wavey:

Classic turn shot Craig,

Hope to get some of these chaps in my files shortly, and would be thrilled with something similar!!!

Craig

What a fantastic shot as it is from my view. I would so like to be able to emulate that shot.
