Interaction: Skimmers

[Fabs Forns]

This year we got quite a few Skimmers, we have worked them many times, and we were happy because they had not been successful or available for at least three years. And the season is note over yet :)

Model: Canon EOS 7D
Lens (mm): 840
ISO: 800
Aperture: 8
Shutter: 1/250

Comments appreciated.

Fabs:

Good timing on the transfer/interaction.
Well exposed and sharp.
I have mixed feelings about the dark rock behind the chick. It does make him stand out a bit more from the BG, but when I first saw it I thought it was a post processing artifact.

Nice to get a good catchlight on the adult.

Cheers

Not a rock, but another Skimmer :(
It's very difficult to isolate them in the colony. I though of removing, but decided against it. Didn't watt to loose the fuzziness of the chick's plumage. Maybe I should give a try with Viveza, but since it doesn't work with 64 bit, not thrilled about going back and forth in CS version.
Thanks, Randy :)
