Nice job on this photo. Exposure is difficult on terns because of the bright white and the black on head. You managed it well. Nice details and excellent DOF.

An excellent POV of this tern.
They are such handsome birds.
You did a good job on the exposure.
You even managed to make his eye show in the black part of the head... quite a challenge.

COMO ANDAMOS... yo ya con la cámara, estaba en el taller, he estado sin ella tres semanas, casi me da algo.

Hola Victor
Preciosa composición la que nos muestras de este charrán, el fondo le va muy bien, aunque los blancos están al borde de pasarse y es que es bastante jorobado estas aves de color blanco y negro pero conseguiste captar el brillo del ojo y no es fácil.
Mis felicitaciones.
Un abrazote,
