Long Beach Terns
One more from last weekend’s trip to Long Beach. The light wasn't great but you work with what you have.

Comments and critiques please.

Canon 5D
Sigma 120mm-300mm 1.4 telextender and polarizer.

Dave, I like the panorama format for this shot and love the orange color of the beaks! Nice capture.

Oh, this is cool. Love the pattern created by the tails and beaks. May I suggest… crop off more of the top, drop out the bg to the fg color of the sand with no beachy detritus in there. Wow… Makes me want to play with some arty filters, too… yum… Ooops, getting carried away. :rolleyes: Great shot with a lot of potential!

Oh I like this! The colors and the composition all work very well for me! My only nit would be to crop down from the top about 10% or so. That is OOF and doesn't add anything to the overall image.

Nice work!
