Common Tern with fish
This was taken a couple of evenings a go whilst on an organised RIB trip around Herm, a small island off the coast of Guernsey. Looking at it full size I think the fish is a small Mackerel.

Canon 40D, 100-400mm Lens, f/5.6, 1/2000, ISO 400, +2/3EV, handheld. Upper wing tip cut off in original, repaired using quick mask technique.

Thanks.

That's a clever bit of comping Paul, I have to admit I wouldn't have known if you hadn't mentioned it.

Very nicely captured and have to agree with Robert there.. You didn't think about repairing the other feathers whlist you were there then..? :biggrin: :biggrin:

Would never have known about the clipped wing if not mentioned - super processing. Makes me wonder if its worth putting more of the "other" foot in to preserve the symmetry? :wink:
