(Royal Tern) South Florida

Lest you think that all my favorites are Bald Eagles. Here's one that isn't. :D I did clone an OOF tern out of the image as I really didn't see why it should stay. :wink:

The curves are very nice, Tony.

Glad to see you diversify a bit. :D

A great angle on this Tony. I can see why it's your favorite.

Well done! Perfect composition for this one. Some excellent framing. I think the wingposition really makes this one...

Abstract Art. I like the Ying and Yang wing lines here.

Tony I never get tired of your eagles. Even when you change up and post KILLERS like this, slip us eagle lovers an image now and then.

Congrats!!!

Tony,

The angle and curve of the wings are wondeful. That, combined with the almost perfectly level eyes make the image for me.
