Incoming pose of a River Tern
Shot this River Tern in a recent trip to Manglajodi, Odissa, India in the early winter-morning light. I took the risk of shooting wide open to push up the shutter speed hand holding and standing on a manual boat.
Nikon (D500 & 500 f4) Shutter - 1/3200 seconds, F – 4, Exposure Program - Manual control, Metering – Spot, ISO – 800, WB – Sunny, Focus Mode – AF-C.

I APPRECIATE CRITICISMS. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR VIEWING & INPUTS.

Congrats on getting this sharp image. Terns are not easy subjects and you caught this one flying at you. I commend you.

Hand holding and standing in a boat is a difficult platform, but you nailed the sharpness of this tern perfectly. Beautiful image!

Great image! Very unusual angle for a tern photo. Sharp, and with a lovely background.

Very nicely captured. I love the angle and framing with fantastic BG.

Angle of flight somewhat odd (for capture that is). Nevertheless, nice flight shot.
