Beautiful, Sandy. I like the small seashells, and of course the display behavior. The raised wings give a nice sense of depth to the image. Nicely done!

Nice behavioral image. A very interesting pose and quite different than what we typically see on this site. You could lighten up the face a little bit.

I agree, I love the pose, and you did really well with the exposure for that bird on that shiny water. Great job!

Really cool pose Sandy with nice feather detail in the Tern. I like the bright water for the background too. Great behavior shot.

This is a fine picture of a laughing gull transitioning to adult plumage. ...........................Jim

Very nice muted winter colors and composition with just enough of a reflection at the bottom. And cool display!
