    Default Black Skimmer in-flight with meal



    Hello,
    Haven't posted in quite some time but I thought I'd begin again. This was taken in Wrightsville Beach, NC. Many birds nest here and their nesting areas are roped off. I positioned myself between that area and the water and caught many of these guys going back and forth catching fish to bring back to the juveniles.
    I would love to have feedback and suggestions.
    Thank you, Kevin

    I like your sharpness, and the fish is good-sized! Wing position could be a little better, and I think you've got some room to push your exposure to the right.

    Glad you've decided to post again! Good looking skimmer, great prey item and nice to see that fish pointing towards us. I agree a better wing position would be better and the skimmer is a little steep in the frame. Looking forward to more!
