Excellent processing of both the blacks and whites. The background on this is really nice and you placed the bird in the frame perfectly. detail and exposure look right on!

Very good flight shot; nice work on the white and blacks, never easy in the bright sunlight.

Nice sharp image of the tern Sandy with a wonderful BG. Great colors and I even like the central placement of the main event here.

Grreat detail and exposure on the tern. For me the bg is a little too busy. I would try to soften/smooth the bg to make it less distacting.

Technically excellent flight shot, Sandy, with perfectly exposed and processed tones on the bird. What makes this more than that for me, however, is the color. The blues and whites of the background seem to be ideal for showing off this bird. My only small nit is that I think the bokeh looks just a bit "nervous" on the bottom half of the image. That's an easy adjustment if you are so inclined, but either way, this is beautiful.

This bird is so sharp that it's almost delicate. Wonderful job.
