Well done on the capture of the Tern, ready for a dive. Clear and crisp.

Jolie photo. Bonne mise au point et bon cadrage. L'exposition est aussi très bien contrôlé permettant de voir les détails sur l'oiseau.

Great shot Rene, the Tern is beautifully focussed and you took the bird when the wings were in perfect place. Another one of your beautiful work.

Beautiful pose you captured, nice stop-action shot, good details on the wings. Tricky exposure to get right, as you have to balance the black of the head against the white of the rump. I think you did well ;-))

Might be a common tern, but this is not a common shot! I see you have taken out the "cannon" for this one - the shape is typical, and they are SO beautiful, I love these birds. Pity I am 1000 km from the sea. They look a lot like the Caspian tern too. This one is in breeding plumage too.
I will post more of the eagle later. I want to make a 3-in a row like Mogens, but is is a lot of work.
Also, I would rather rotate species.

Rene, this is a fantastic capture - so sharp and full of details. I am green all over;-). I have tried so many times to get a good shot of these swift birds. You captured this one perfect hanging over the water just before the dive for prey. Outstanding action shot.

Superbe Sterne, René, excellemment figée dans le bleu du ciel.
Le vert pâle de TN crée un étrange contraste.
La seule fois que j'en ai vu une qui ne volait pas, c'était au Biodôme.
Une image très soignée et deux notes accompagnatrices intéressantes.
Merci

He is ready to take a dive and a second or so later you would have had an empty frame. I have lots of shots of Kingfishers that has no Kingfishers in them.

The sharpness is good and the moment excellent.

Very well done and thanks for posting

Rene, another stunning shot of yours. I have some problems when I have to shoot birds against blue skies - the photos tend to be grainy.

Another very beautiful shot. Excellent POV and great "pose"

I am so glad I had a chance to look at some earlier shots I missed out on. This is a wonderfull composition. The subject placement is perfect to get the most impact. Tack sharp too. Well done.
