Gabi,
He looks quite aerodynamic in flight!
The colors all blend together nicely.
Good picture!
Thanks,
Dave

I like the compo with a downward angle giving the impression of a dive. It's tack sharp and the only thing I could add is "Wish it was mine" :)

Excellent action shot, Gabi!
Good timing, sharp details,
great colours, beautiful blue sky.
Well done and TFS!

these are really excellent bird shots...so sharp and clear and getting the eye makes all the difference...

Clearly the 20D + Sigma 500 is a combination to die for.
Brilliantly sharp image of this royal tern, the whites and greys are very well exposed. Nice composition and catch-light on the eye. Well done.

Very nice suspended inflight shot with excellent exposure, I like the POV on this one a lot. :)

Very well composed with excellent exposure, sharpness and details. Great job P.P. this. Very well done! Thank you.

Excellent in flight capture Gabi! Great sharpness and details. Good colors and nice light. Very good work! Thanks for sharing!
