Nicely done and very original

Thanks for sharing this marvel!

Great shot. Did you mean to capture this?

Very beautiful picture!

Thank you for your kind remarks. I went to downtown Reykjavik last saturday evening to escape the Eurovision Song Contest and also to photogrpah terns. So I was hoping for some good shots but I did not expect to capture such a great pose from the terns. They are admirable birds and it is allways a pleasure to see them in the spring here in Iceland.

A wonderful image, to catch it in flight and have it sharp. It stands out well against the bg.

Well done Jakob.

Funny you should post this image, today I went to the botanical gardens in Laugardalur and got a very similar shot of a "kria" (sorry, don´t know the english name) and posted it myself.

 

Yours is clearly better, you do have a much nicer lens than I did but if you want to see mine it´s here

 

I took two other shots of the same bird landing on the water and then sitting still, here is shot 2 and then shot 3

Excellent shot. Sharp, in action.

Great capture Jakob. Congrats!
