    Default Water fun in skimmer style

    I figured I should try the new size limit on BPN, so here is a black skimmer. I wish for a little head twist towards me, but I like the twisted body and the water drops.

    Hi Lorant,
    I've wanted to catch a shot of this species doing its skimming but no luck so far for me. I like the action you captured here with all the water drops flying, skimming pose, and the twisted body adds interest as you mention. Details look good to me. Well done.

    Pretty cool Skimmer frame Lorant! Great looking pose and I like the flared tail and water splashing. Nice BG colors add to the image and the details look great. The only flaw is the shadows on the head but otherwise one of your better skimmer frames. Well done

    Hi Lorant, I like the low perspective you managed here, and great show of the raised wings, and the vertical position of the tail. The flying water adds to the image.
