Another beauty, Luke. I like the angle you got with the head framed by the opening in the grass.

Always love these low angled shots of yours Luke. I really like the soft tones you've captured in the plumage that contrast nicely with the slashes of black and the separation you have between the black and it's glassy eye is wonderful. I also like that strand of whatever it is hanging from the Tern's mouth :^)

I really like this image. The colors, comp., and back ground really work well together.

Very attractive and elegant looking tern. Nice and sharp on the head and body of the tern. I agree with others about the soft background. I like the polished looking rocks in front of the tern, but do wish that the lower part of the bird wasn't obscurred quite this much. Just a minor nit, looking for anything that would make the image even better.

I like the light blue directly behind its head.
Excellent POV and a nice head-turn as well.

Nicely done, but I am finding that lighter BG behind the head just ever so slightly distracting. I like your low angle very much.

Very nice. The low angle is terrific here and I like the soft look of the background.

A great shot Luke. Love the low angle and the rocks and shells in the FG. Bird is sharp with nice detail. I do find the BG right behind the bird's head a bit distracting, but nothing major that is for sure.

Love these super low angles and this one is great how it softened those rocks .I wish that white area behind the bird wasn't there but it is still a great image with it.
