Common Tern

By albi  
Another Common Tern reflection shot from the files... The black dot on the birds side is a shadow from a water droplet.. No sure if the comp works on this, my arms were getting tired by this time holding up the 600 which in turn made me struggle to keep straight horizons.... Wink

Thanks for looking...

It´s very, very, very, very... There ain´t enough superlatives for this shot. Magnificent springs to mind, and a lot of other epiteths! Like standing ovation.
Handheld on top of that... Would you share the settings with us?

I like the reflection and the water ripples behind the tern. Pretty impressive to hold that 600mm and a 1D mark3.
