I picture it before I take it.
When shooting the Terns I had a specific shot in mind. The Terns circle above the water about 25′ in the air. When they see their catch they turn and dive straight down. Almost 100% of the time they completely submerge. I envisioned the Tern coming up out the water with wings stretched to the sky. And water thrown upward from the wings and the ability of this bird to quickly get airborne again. Fish (dinner) in mouth! About 5400 shots later……
Yes he is dead center. And the background is quit busy. But it is exactly what i was trying to get!

I love to try and pre-visualize my shots. 9 times out of 10 the photo I get is completely different though! Great capture…
I knew you back then we should have gotten together and you could have shown be how to take these picture how great
