Love that tiny "slice of time." Very nicely captured. Nice job, too, on the details in the whites vs. the fairly dark BG. It really pops.

Dorian, firecracker of a shot, love the twisted, agitated feathers and flying water drops!  The red/orange beak stands out so nicely against the deep blue water BG.

Hey Dorian that's about as good of a shake shot As It Gets. Perfect upside down head with open beak, water flying around, nice details and the perfect sun angle. Got to love that one.
I must have missed you, I was in Huntington Beach over the last week also. I shot the terns Monday night with Glenn and Arash.
Did you go by the peregrines?
PM me your email information if you want and we can keep in touch.
