Cor!!! A great find for you Joe and you captured some great plumage detail too.

A super picture you've taken of him, and it's well worth its place in The Opus too.

Thanks my friend.

On firsts look, I wouldn't have thought this was a Tern. How different it looks and nicely captured.

Lovely layers, lighting and tones in this shot, Joseph.
