Went down to Rye nature reserve a couple of days ago, and the Sandwich Turns were bringing in the fish to feed there young, the black Headed Gulls were wating in ambush and the attcking the turns so they would drop the fish for a easy meal.
I think this is a great shot, and what I love is the elegance of pose of both birds. But that leads to the bit that I feel is a real shame - the clipped wing. As a piece of 'art' the relationship between the two birds is great and the shapes really beautiful - each bird individually, and as a pair, with the curve of tern up to the black-head and then round again, so its a pity that wingtip is missing. In b&w it would be a lovely and very elegant print. Nice one!

that the wing is cut off is not worth to talk about,
I would be happy with this shot.
