    This is a very nice image, Stuart. Love the calling flight pose and your BG is terrific, not to mention super exposure and details.

    This is a beauty, Stuart. I like everything about it, except that I might give him just a little more room left and bottom.

    Smudge at the top, streak on the right, bottom of wing has evidence of photoshop work . Clean this image up and it will sing.

    Gorgeous calling pose with spectacular top view and beautiful eye contact. One of the best skimmer image ,I had seen.

    Wow! very nice. One of your best IF posts for sure. A real nice Skimmer image with a great wing position and that wide open bill adds so much to the image. A nice graduated BG tops this one off nicely.

    A Beautiful, well exposed skimmer Image. I like the calling pose and visible eye. excellent job. I think one feather tip on the left wing was partially masked in post.

    What a crisp beautiful image, Stuart. The BG sets the Skimmer off perfectly. Not sure what caused the 1/2" wide faint white streak intersecting the upper feather of fanned tail.

    Over the top with the calling pose. Details and IQ are impressive and love the catch light in the eye. Hats off!!
