I cannot figure out how you captured this from a higher elevation. A very good capture indeed. Thanks for sharing.

Jude,
I was walking on the embankment when I heard a small explosion sound of the tern diving into the water. I had just enough time to draw the camera and aimed for a shot. I guess I was lucky it turned out this way.

Thanks for the comment. Andy

This is a great shot you have with an unusual and highly interesting perspective. I think the composition works as-is; the story is well told, it shows environment, it's well grounded, and the focus/exposure is good.

My only nit is the light spot directly above the fish's eye, I find it distracting. We are drawn to eyes and that spot competes due to its proximity, I'd dull it down or eliminate it.

Another great image for your already amazing portfolio of bird shots, nice website too.

A very unique, interesting image. Of course the perspective is different but the timing of the capture was right on!

It says to me "Gotchya, you're not going anywhere!".

Hi Andy,
You wanted an empotional message.
For me the emotional message centres around the cycle of life, life and death and the survival of the fittest, power and precision in the strike, & beauty and form in the bird as exemplified by the wonderful shapes of the wings and tail.

How to improve it, not easy it is such a powerful image, but I would like to see the effect of more space under the bird and more also to the right so the bird is coming more out of the left and not so centred and more towards the viewer. Not saying it would work better but would like to try it.
Martin

I'm certainly open to suggestions, Martin. Thank you very much for the comment.

Will, thank you for such a wonderful comment. Super spotting on that nit, I'll take care of that when I get a chance to go back and edit the image. The website is still being worked on, thanks for looking.
