That’s a treat. Chasing Terns at the lake is always a fun challenge, and coming away with something like this must feel like a great reward. Congrats.

The 150-450mm wouldn't be the obvious go-to lens for flowers and macro work, but I like the sharpness, subject isolation & bokeh well enough that I'm not going to let it stop me if it is the lens on the camera at the moment, heh.
