Wow, super sharp picture. I like the "eyes". The BG is nice too.

Axel, fantastic with the sand eel, especially to be facing us, to see the eye!  Super pose, details and BG - beautiful work.

This is one of your best tern images in my opinion. Great head angle, nice Wing position, killer details, beautiful background and the all-important eye is visible.
The fish takes this one way over the top and it's also in the perfect position too. Doesn't get much better than this Axel.
