Taken late April 2003. I have many images with an all sand BG and made a point of trying to get images with the ocean as the BG. Fortunately I found this fellow nearer to the ocean than the rest of the colony. The white in the BG is the breaking wave.

10D, 600IS, 1.4x, EV-1, f6.3, no flash, crop from the left.

Comments and reposts welcome.

Enjoy viewing

As others have said, the background puts it a cut above...

The clean sand and awesome bg are what sets this one apart from the rest.

Wowser!!

Love these Least Terns. This is excellent, especially the exposure of the bird given the BG and white sand.

I especially like this one. The bird is great but it's the BG that really sets this one apart from other tern shots. Excellent.

Jim,

Nice shot. I like the slight head turn and the background is wonderful.

It's been said already but I do love the background. While scrolling up and down I found that I also really like it with just a smidgen of the darkest blue off the top.

Very cool shot. Almost looks like it is standing on dirty snow. Love the bg.
