Lovely shot, Alan. I would tend to take a tad off the bottom and a few tads off the top (unless it turns out to be a cover page).

This is really nice Alan. I think a bit tighter crop on the top and bottom might help to. That egg really makes this one special IMO.

Alan,

Great capture. I will have to share one of my Least Terns from Desoto sometime in the future. Thanks for the inspiration.

Beautiful tern shot, Alan. I agree with Sandy on the bottom trimming.

Wait to get low Alan--nice clean nesting shot of this LT. Very tough to get this close to them in southern California.

Carol got you on that one!!!! A very elegant image....with the right look and a wonderful egg showing. Wish I had more time to look at this one....but then I'd just have to hate you more. You've had enough for this week!!

I agree with Sandy's crop suggestion. The egg is the icing on the cake.

Great capture, tells a whole story of motherhood and at the same time a vigilante look for predators or intrusive humans.
