    Default Juvenile Skimmer Squatting

    There were lot of Skimmers at Nickerson beach,but this guy was squatted in an unusual position and was looking far into the Ocean.
    I played with the contrast a little to get this effect.Cloned out more than a few OOF birds. Sharpened,NR and cropped about 25% of the Original.

    Nikon D300s,300mm f 2.8, 1/500s ,F/4,ISO-280,Manual Exp

    Nice shot of this juvi. I wish for a little more head turn towards us.

    I like the setting. With the typically dirty neck and the head turned slightly away from us the eye is barely visible....

    He looks as if he might be hurt? Look at the red right behind his bill...can you see this better in a larger version? Agree that there needs to be more light on the head.

    Hi Sanjeev, good detail on the skimmer, and the colours pop nicely from the beach BG. Normally, I would have felt to take some space off the top, but in this, I like the extra space on top. Maybe some dodging around the eye may bring it up a little better.

    Almost looks like a winter scene! Good low angle and exposure. I too wish for a better HA here. A few residual spots along the left and top edges need removal.
