Peter, very nice the combination of the static youngster with the approaching parent. I like the sharpness of the youngster and the movement in the mother. I wonder if a part of the top could be cropped out.
Great shot.

Very nice capture, Peter. Terns are one of my favorites, especially inflight action shots. Your timing was impeccable here and your focus was spot on. The only thing I would change would be to brighten it up a bit...either levels or curves would do the job...but other than that I think this is a cracker jack shot!

Well caught, the sense of movement in the adult is a nice contrast to the still youngster. Detail of the youngster and the algae on it are great.

Hi Peter
This is the type of shot we al try to get. Not always successful but this is how we learn. I think your lens is too short here and the light was to dull, even at f5,6, you only got 1/320s. You need around 1/1000 to 1/500 to "nail" it sharp. Also, the eye is not visible on the adult bird. Fill flash could also help with a catchlight in the eye. All this said, I still love this image.

This is really a great capture Peter. I love the movement in the blurred wings and the young one waiting/begging for food. Colours are great as well as the dof. I think I would crop out 2/3 of the space in the top of the picture but that of course is a personal matter and not really important. You did a very nice job here.

Hi Peter, a wonderful capture of the "stern", as we call it. The young one on the pile and the mother (maybe it's the father...) in a beautiful action, good colours and composition !

This is a very good motion shot of Mum and her little one. Your split second timing has resulted in this great photo. Have you tried a speed of 1000. I learnt that on this site, and it helps in freezing moving objects.
I really like the wooden pole with all that lichen on it. The colour is very good. Well done.
