A head on view of an Arctic Tern as it approaches me. Arctic Terns have the most elegant lines of most any bird, no matter which direction you view them from. This view shows how amazingly thin their wings are!

He does look streamlined! Nice focus following, and wonderful catchlight to make the eye visible.

Hi Gary, really nice job getting the oncoming bird in such good focus. I like the composition with the bird above the greenery and room to fly to the left. Nice exposure and details on the bird too. Well done.
