Evidently, I wandered too near the nest of an arctic tern, as evidenced by the close encounter pictured here. Comments?
Arctic tern distraction behavior.

A nice shot and expression. I'd increase the canvas size to get more blue sky between the edge and wingtips. I'd work on lightening the area near the eyes and sharpen the eye highlight. Overall a good capture.

Thanks, Bob. The picture works a lot better at greater enlargements. The eyes highlights are nice and sharp at full screen, but should have been modified for this format. Your suggestion of making a larger canvas is appreciated. I will go back to the original and start over on that. It is always interesting to try out different approaches so the more suggestions I get, the better.

I agree with Bob. The eyes appear to have catch light in them but the head and eyes need some work to separate the eyes from the dark feathers on the head.
