    Default pano black skimmer

    Taken a few weeks ago at Nickerson. The left wing was in shadow and so I isolated and increased exposure. I chose the pano crop to suit the full wing flight pose and to accentuate the beautiful landscape BG, reminds me of a watercolor.

    Nice top shot. A shadow from another bird?

    with love, artie

    ps: all with 1DX and the old 600? Or with the 1DX II and the 600 II?

    Very nice image, with good angle on the bird. If it was mines I may clone the darker circle on the right, I find that drags my eyes to it a bit.

    I like this one better than the other although it does not have a fish. nice BG. the facial whites are a bit hot and could use some additional sharpening

    Man, it looks like you are getting some killer Skimmer action Ann!! This looks nice with the skimmer looking right at us and a nice colorful BG. Details look pretty good overall and I like the Pano comp too. Well done

    Looks good overall. I agree in removing, or at least toning down, the darker area at right edge. Good call lightening the top wing.

    Thanks. What caused the shadow on the far wing?

    Nice flight frame. Love the greens in the background. Like the comp and pose as well.
