Running out from the marina towards open water we found what I think is an immature Foster's Tern waiting out the fog on a dinghy on the Saco River(ME).

Nice photo. In my opinion the dinghy as the perch really makes this shot.

Very nice - a great sense of time and place. I like the fog and I'm glad you didn't try to defeat it by pumping up the contrast. The bit of boat helps set the scene and is a strong element in the composition.

I like the feel of this image, Charles. I agree with Richard, I am glad you left the fog effect as it was. Very nice image.

The fog really adds to the mood here. Beautiful looking bird with subtle coloration. I really like the boat in the comp. Beautiful photo to hang in the summer cottage (wish I had a summer cottage.... :rolleyes: )

Cool image. I like the dreamy feel that it created. Good use of diagonals.

What Richard said, because I couldn't say it better myself :smile:
