    Great timing, Lorant. Good wing position, and fabulous splash. I love the feet seen through the water. Well done.

    This is very nice Lorant.
    Love the visible eye through the splash.

    Superb timing and like Gail, I too love that the eye is visible (as are the feet) through that super cool splash. This image is over the top.

    You've been sharing an absolutely amazing series of black skimmers skimming!!! The splash here and being able to see the eye are key. My only wish, and yours I'm sure, are for a cleaner BG. That would throw your already amazing series over the top.

    Hi Lorant, great low perspective, and well timed for the skim. I like the raised wings, and curves of the splash.

    Great image Lorant! I like the action, splash, low angle, BG, IQ, visible eye and composition.

    Not the classic skimming poses, that's for sure. Maybe a young bird having fun and learning the ropes. The visible eye really make this one and the water spray looks great. Well done.
