Wing position and crop are perfect.. maybe a tiny bit more room in the front

The markings look like a dark version of our Calif. Least Tern... are these as small? Well captured K.K.

Nice to see a topshot of a Tern! The skies cleared for you I see. 8) Vince, the Bridled Tern is between an Elegant and Forster's in size.

Cool pose with one wing pointing right at the camera.

A very minor nit, would have liked a little more detail in the eye - maybe selectively brightening it ?
