Bird looks great Homer. Nice light in the eye and great accessory in the bird's beak. Maybe a bit of noise reduction on the BG?

Great shot, Homer! Getting catchlight in any Tern's eyes is the key! Well done, especially with meal/gift.

Homer, great flight shot with that big snack in tow, lovely BG that makes your subject stand out well.

Great shot Homer, the extra long fish adds a lot to this.

Great looking Tern frame. Like the pose, the light, the fish and the BG. I agree that a bit of NR on the BG will improve this nice looking shot. Well done
