Tern

Thanks, Steve. I wish I could take credit for the framing of the bird, but I am afraid it wasn't really intentional. These birds are incredibly fast, and I was just snapping as quickly as I could and trying to get them anywhere in the frame. They were darting and diving for food in the water and it was very difficult to get any shots of them.

I don't know if you cropped the wings deliberately, but if you did it was a stroke of genius! And leaving the large expanse of blue sky to the right works well, too. Those factors make this shot much more than just a portrait of a bird.
