Welcome to TN, with your credentials I suspect we're going to see some impressive shots from you, I can't wait.
This is quite a good shot of an adult and juvenile, I don't how they raise so many chicks successfully considering their nest is just the laying the egg on a branch! My only critique is that you should include, when possible, speed and apature info. Its certainly nice to see a shot of this species with the wings extended and in-focus.

Hermosa composicion Eyal... realmente.
Bellas aves, excelente presentacion con atinado DOF y suave colorido... el detalle de las plumas blancas es muy bueno, conociendo las dificultades que tiene este color siempre.
Bien hecho.

Eyal, Like the light & soft shadows I see. Presenting this species in this manner is great. You've shown the coloration & markings from the top of the wing secondary as well the wing-stretched, mouth open pose of the primary Tern very nicely. My preference would've been to crop left to the vertical branch eliminating it. It's a great photo! Thanx for posting..

Une agréable composition photographique pour ces jolis oiseau. La positision avec les ailes déployées est belle.
Well done.

Welcome to TN. The photo is really something special. The two birds were captured very sharp. Nice poses by both. Congratulations. Your note needs a bit more info though.

Welcome to TN Eyal, good to see this pair of fairyvTerns in this almost classic pose.
the exposure seems mostly OK the white over most of the image look pretty good just the far side upright wing looks a tad bright loosing the detail from it.
It would be nice to see a few more details about the subject and the how you did it.if in doubt view the note guidelines for ideas.
Out of points for today so will post them tommorrow

Very, very nice image, Eyal. Perfectly sharpand lovely colours. Nice shot!!

Beautiful capture. I would like to see more info on these Terns.

Very good image! Perfect timing and white side!
Compliments!

Nice moment, the only thing that bothers me it is thats a Canon, I am rivalry aficionado (shoot Nikon since childhood :) ... just kidding .. Great white balance and you dont see that very often here in TN.
I admire you, it is not what most people would photograph in Seychelles ...
