BPN-Royal-Tern-courtship-feeding-_A1G0942-Fort-DeSoto-Park----Tierra-Verde-----FL-.jpg

This image was created on 11 April 2023 on the first morning of the second Fort DeSoto IPT. I used the handheld Sony FE 400mm f/2.8 GM OSS lens, the Sony FE 1.4x Teleconverter, and The One, the Sony Alpha 1 Mirrorless Digital Camera). The exposure was determined via Zebra technology with ISO on the Thumb Dial. ISO 640. 1/5000 sec. at f/4 (wide open) in Manual mode. When evaluated in RawDigger, the raw file exposure was determined to be dead-solid perfect. AWB at 8:09:27am on a sunny morning.

All comments are welcome and appreciated.

Artie:

Dramatic, tightly cropped, beautifully exposed. The expression on the right bird looks pretty fierce, even though it turns out he was giving her a present!

Nice action, my only reservations are that there doesn't appear to be any details in the blacks and the bills, they appear slightly smooth or smudged. Given the SS I find this a little puzzling.
 
The huge crop held up well, all things considered. I know you do not normally like shadows on your subjects, but here I do feel the crab's shadow projected onto the tern's neck is pretty neat. Awesome action :)
