Arctic Tern or Sterna paradisaea. Taken near the seashore approximately 15 km from Reykjavik, Iceland. The Arctic Tern is very aggressive towards any intruder during this season as they have nested and are expecting their small ones from the eggs any time, the larger predators are equally interested to get some meals from the nests. Overall fun shooting and a nice day out there.

Cropped and sharpened.

This is a very nice shot of the bird, the one in the bottom should be cropped or cloned out, it distracts to much.

Nice catch. Really shows how contorted the wings can get on the forward part of the flap.

Lovely shape to the bird and nice detail in the wings. Whilst I like the second bird being in frame the overall composition isn't that strong for me. Also a touch noisy. Still like it though. 7

Good capture, although a little out of focus, which is understandable, 7
