Well Greg, you might remember these guys. Taken at Blind Pass back in March. As I recall, you were looking for something like this.

Hi Rich, Wecome! I fixed your post. You forgot to add the image tags. It shows up now :)

A very nice and dynamic image. The wingspread is great

Those big fowler flaps on final really let him slow down! Nice image, love the wing span.

Like the frozen action and the highlights. I can see a catchlight and would consider bringing that out more in an editing program. Nice shot!

Interesting pose. Is this a Royal Tern?

YES I WAS!!! Got a few myself but this one is about as close to perfect as it could be! I shot mine low to avoid the horizon but I don't mind it here actually.

BTW thanks for the support and welcome to the site!
