It seems as if the hatching of the Skimmers was later then it had been in the past, but finally they are showing up. Lots of feeding and begging in the colony.

Hi Joe. You did well with the detail here and capturing the open bill. Is there food in that bill? Hard to tell. I also like the flying sand at the feet. I feel the image is a little busy and tight mostly because of the placement of the chick touching the oof greens in the bg but I think the main reason I feel that is because it is shot vertical. I wonder if it would feel more roomy if it were shot horizontal which would also go well with the horizontal shadow. Does that make sense to you?
Very nice -- I think it would also be interesting to compare a horizontal crop. Great DOF and nicely presented subject in a pleasing habitat.
I cropped it this way to eliminate much of the distracting debris that has found it's way into the colony. This is a public beach with the colony being roped off , but people are slobs , and can't bring themselves to use the trash cans. Just the other night a beach ball was blowing around on the ground and spooking the birds.Originally Posted by Cheryl Molennor
