Black Skimmer

[Dorian Anderson]

My favorite of the Nickerson bunch. Took a while to get the desired sky-dune background in the distance.

Canon 600mm f/4 IS II on EOS 1D Mark IV
1/3200 at f/5.6, ISO 640
Processed in LR CC. Bit of extra sharpening on eye and a bit of local exposure knockdown on brightest bit of forehead.

A beauty, Dorian. Great head turn, and lovely layered BG. Well done.

[Daniel Cadieux]

There is really nothing you can do to improve on this frame, except maybe to see my signature at the bottom instead. Way to go man, this simply rocks.

Head angle and eye contact as nice as it gets..
Just excellent.
