Angel Wings
3rd Place

San Francisco Bay Area

One of the most gentle and beautiful creature I have ever met. These Foster's Tern would fly above the water and when a fish is spotted, it dive at breakneck speed into the water, get the fish and deliver the fish to its partner! I was completely amazed at its behaviour in the animal kingdom. A true gentlebird.

Love the symmetry - most terns I've shot have one tail feather longer than the other.

I've taken many photos of terns, but none are as beautiful as this. --Garrett
