    Captured this guy at Nickerson Beach Saturday morning. He looks like he's dancing but he's merely stretching. :o

    Very cool pose, great angle and exposure control. Great to see how long those wings are. I'm wondering if a slightly higher angle would have made it possible to see the feet, too.

    Hi,

    This is very nice. Love the pose, low angle and exposure. I wish I could see the feet but the action is strong enough to make me forget all about it. Congrats!

    I agree with Maxis about the feet. I love the wing position and the look you're getting. Very nice!

    I love the wing detail and the head angle. I guess the feet would have been bonus, but as Maxis says the action steals the show! Good job with the exposure.

    Thanks, everyone for such positive comments! I agree about the feet - I was sitting on the ground awaiting the skimmers to fly by when he stretched his wings and his feet were hiding. Seems like the birds were really nice to me last weekend at Nickerson. Hope they remember me, next time I visit. :D

    Hi Beth,
    Super wing stretch! Just sit a bit higher......and you'll get the feet! Very nice work.

    Super on the exposure and colors. I don't miss the feet, but might be tempted to clean up some bits in the sand.
