Black Skimmer splash

[Lorant Voros]

It is skimmer season here again, so I can have some fun photographing them. I like this one where the eye is visible through the water droplets after the splash.

The water drops and the whole splash behind the bird are great. Really like the low angle and background.

Nice action image. The splash is as good as you cold hope for. I really like the wing position and excellent that it did not shade the head. The light and background a also pleasing. The head looks a little soft to me, but it could just be from the splash.
