I have a modest collection of skimmer frames -- mostly from the East Coast -- but I'd not captured a skimming frame with which I was happy before this one. Yippee!

I really liked the water trail and accompanying small splash. I had to clone out a few OOF shorebird heads/beaks in the foreground, but it was hella easy.
