    Bill. I am loving your skimmer series. This one has a lot to like...the sweet light, eye contact, super catch lights, great fore and background. Well done!

    Very proud Mom indeed, and very comfortable look on the babies face. Beautifully captured, Bill. Great early morning light.

    Lovely looking frame and nice control of the blacks/whites. I love the facial expressions on parent and chick. Lovely lighting.
