Common Tern
Taken on Inner Farne. I wasn't too fond of the wing position on this image at first and so didn't bother with it but having gone back for another look I thought it might work. A bit tight but it was positioned in the bottom right of the full frame and so had to be cropped.
EOS 30D
Sigma 500mm

I can see why you thought the wing position wasn't ideal, but I still think it works nicely. It looks nice and sharp and well exposed too.

Nice one sharp and the exposure comtrolled well, I would be happy to have taken it :smile:

Nice image, sharp with plenty of detail in the whites.

Looks good to me, it's not as though you can choose the wing position is it and I don't think it is all that bad anyway.

I like it. Whilst normally the head could easily become a bit lost against the wing, there's no danger of that here with that vibrant, red beak. :cool:
