Common Tern silhouette - Nickerson Beach, NY
Silhouette of an adult Common Tern returning to the nesting colony with a just caught fish in its beak:
I got lucky on this shot getting this bird with its wings completely open and head turned just right to get this perfect silhouette. I also like that this bird was flying low so I could incorporate some vegetation in the foreground adding overall more interest to this photo.
Here is a vertical crop of the same image:
and the extreme crop showing just the bird with fish:
In my opinion, each image stands out on its own.
What do you think?
I would like to take this opportunity and wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! ππ
