Hi Gert, kia ora. This must have been as 'easy' shot for you - catching a 'still' bird this time. Perfect focus, colours and details. And even showing us teh catch-light in his eye too.
Well done,
Janice

Wow, simply a stunning portrait of this species.
I have seen them on twice on pelagic seabird watching trips off the east coast of Australia.
There is nothing to critique, I doubt anyone could produce a better shot of this species perched. Well done, my friend.

MY FRIEND!
Good to hear from you, better to see your splendid work! I see You are also on Cannon, not Sigma lenses? I made the choise and cut the costs in December. Got the big Bertha in April, my wife was SO accommodating, she really is an angel, allowing me such a lens.
It kicks butt, but it is heavy.
Love this tern, it is so crisp and celaer, great details, as always on your pics.
Take care
Callie

Hi Gert,
what a beautiful catch of this arctic tern. I spent three summers on Svalbard, where the arctic tern is quite common, and one time had the chance of making a picture like this of an Arctic tern on a rock. Unfortunatly my camera's light meter broke and all pictures failed, but this one makes it all good. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Jacob
