Axel, excellent dynamic pose with great eye contact, the tern pops so nicely off that nice green BG.  Extra bonus with food item in beak for the little ones.

Axel

Seems a race on terns with fish. BUT this is another excellent image with everything good about it. The wings frame the fish very nicely.

The best of your series IMO. Much better pose and HA than the one a few posts ago. I know they are only a frame or two apart but this one has much better details in the blacks. That smooth green Bg is just killer!! Well done, again.
