About the Image(s)

I was taking photos of the Common Tern last spring which was challenging because they fly so fast and I was also experimenting with manual camera settings, something I’m averse at doing. I had better images than this, but they looked too much like records shots, so I chose this image because it tells more of a story with action and purpose. However, this shot was taken through tall grass and at some distance resulting is a less than great image, and when cropping the image, certain qualities simply worsened.

I like this image because of the story it tells, so I am soliciting recommendations from the group that might help this image more than what I was able to do in Lightroom. Please feel free to download the attached original. All comments will be appreciated.
