Nice sharp image. I like the colors and the light. If the bird had only been turned a bit more it would be even better.

Nickerson?

I keep telling the birds to turn, but they don't listen.

I like the lighting, sharpness and grass at the bottom of the frame. I would try a version with the bird higher in the frame and more grass below if you have it. Nice image Joe!

[Karl Egressy]

Beautiful light nice wings forward position. Great picture, no nits here Joe.

[Grace Scalzo]

Wonderful warm light, Joe. Really pretty image.

[Sachin Saraf]

Joe, what a beautiful light you got here...Wow! this is really beautiful.

[Marina Scarr]

I actually like the bird flying away from you in this image. It's a different perspective but you still have a good view of the bird's face with a lovely right wing position. The light and colors are lovely, and I like the few grasses.

[Yves Guillot]

Very well done in such a sweet light! I would clone the grasses in the bottom though, to keep the softness of the atmosphere and maybe try to lighten it up a little bit. Very nice as is anyway!

Nice shot of the Skimmer,Joe. I like as is.Well done.

[Ken Watkins]

I keep telling the birds to turn, but they don't listen.

Strangely I have the same problem, great image with wonderful light!

Good job. I love the warm tones of the evening light. Just got back tonight from shooting skimmers in evening light also. I like the wing position too. Nice.

Hi Joe, good banking angle and wing position. Love the light and the overall colours in the BG. Im fine with the grasses too.

[Frank Schauf]

Very nice colors and great action.

[Giuseppe Varano]

Amazing lighting and pose. Eye contact works fine. For my taste i would reduce a little the yellow tones but indeed a very fine image over all.

[Danny Laredo]

Killer light and flight pose.
