flying royal terns, a photo from Florida, South

Photographer's Note

Seabirds are birds that have adapted to life within the marine environment.
Seabirds and humans have a long history together: they have provided food to hunters, guided fishermen to fishing stocks and led sailors to land. Many species are currently threatened by human activities, and conservation efforts are under way. This capture of flying royal terns I took on the beach in Miami in a very warm and windy day.

Bonjour
excellente capture de ces mouettes qui s'envolent au dessus de l'eau, et des vagues que l'on distingue bien
un ciel chargé de nuages mais qui contraste bien ( à mon avis personnel j'aurai un retiré du ciel)
excellente réalisation
Juliette

Hello Ziggy,

A wonderful moment with these two seagulls.
One advice Ziggy, in future look to you horizon of the sea, now a little bit tilt to right.
But not really disturbing.
Sharpness and color is perfect and natural.
very well composition too. TFS.

Have a nice Tuesday,
John.

Hello Ziggy.
A very impressive capture from years gone by. The sharpness of the birds set against the rough sea and dark clouds is excellent - thanks to your fast exposure. The photo certainly conveys a strong sense of the wind and the waves. Beautiful.
Regards,
Andrew

Bonjour Ziggy

Du travail de très grande qualité. La netteté sur les oiseaux est parfaite et l'arrière plan de toute beauté.J'aime aussi la lumière en diagonale qui illumine le blanc des oiseaux.

Witaj Ziggy,
Gdyby nie Twój komentarz zamieszczony do postu, pomyślałabym, że to zimowa scena złapana na Bałtykiem! Świetnie zagrało światło oraz kolory. Bardzo nastrojowa fotografia.

Hi Ziggy,
Beautiful birds and a very good capture. The colours of the water and the sky are very good. The only thing I´d like to correct here is the slight tilt! But a very pleasant capture.
Kind regards
Gunnar

Hello Ziggy,

WOW!!! Wonderful photo of the seagulls - the ocean & moody sky - excellent capture & clarity are superb - the only point for reference is the horizon needs to be straightened for the perfect image - never the less you captured a WONDERFUL shot.

Kindest regards,
Dawn.
