"The Gift" Elegant Tern & Chick (Thalasseus elegans)
Artistic Rendition
Moss Landing, California
This image of an elegant tern feeding it's chick was selected for the top 100 in the 2015 North American Nature Photography Association's Annual Showcase and featured in their beautiful annual publication "Expressions".
It was digitally altered in Adobe PhotoShop by adding a textured layer to the background, giving it a painterly, ephemeral quality.
