Large view shows this as it should be seen. Quite a treat. Love the framing and body/wing position KK.

A must click to see the full beauty of this wonderful swerving flight pose with the swirling, extended wings and delicate tips! The banking position with little feet so neatly tucked in is just beautiful, and the blue water background sets off the pristine white of the little tern perfectly. Love it, KK!

A "must click". Such an elegant bird in an elegant flight pose. Love the wing angles.
