    A single day at Nickerson can produce lots of images of Black Skimmers (and other sp.). Back in August I posted a number of them, but I'm still finding some new ones. Here's one, cropped from horizontal.

    A clean image, not sure about the uneven wing sizes and could do with some vibrancy?

    Cool one, Bill. Nice open beak, and love that background.

    Hi Bill, nice view of the underside of this skimmer. More banking would have evened out the wing sizes, but that is probably a lot to hope for considering how fast these birds fly. Lovely background. Thank you for sharing.

    Man the bottom wing looks so much bigger than the other. Nice vertical framing. Background is nice.

    Adding a touch of Vibrance definitely helps the image.

    I find it a bit dull.

    I like Wing position and Head Angle.
