A Successful Catch

chngpe01 · 27th April 2004

This was taken quite sometime back, a Black-naped Tern returning from a successful catch.

Comments are most welcome.

Cheers

Excellent, that's the only word I can say. Sharp till I can see the eye of the fish. The Wing is captured very nicely.

Very nice. Great effort! Personally I'd be more favorable to a "wings-up" shot, but this shot is also fantastic.

Thanks guys, as these birds are pretty fast this is the only one out of the 10 or more that I can get it sharply in focus and in frame. The rest are either oof or in foucs but part of it out of the frame.

Cheers
